Melinda, you put me to shame with the length of time you've fought for freedom, through dark days and bright ones, and your article made my wife tear up with inspiration and appreciation. In my view, to have the purest and most persuasive libertarian ever as the LP nominee in 2008 on the heels of Ron Paul's breakthrough Republican campaign is like noticing a slight brightening of the sky in the east after a long night. These two Dr. R's from Texas make this old warrior feel very young right now.
