"While cruising the Internet last year, Banister, now a freshman at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, stumbled upon a political ideology that seamlessly aligned his devotion to individual freedom with a commitment to free-market economics and an opposition to the paternalistic welfare state. Browsing in the cyber marketplace of ideas, Banister encountered electronic pamphlets prepared by the Advocates for Self-Government, a libertarian group based in Atlanta. 'My first exposure to libertarianism was on the Internet,' he says." -- Rolling Stone magazine (April 6, 1995)

"I came across [your Web site] through e-tour, and I wanted to thank you for a clear explanation of libertarianism.

Later, I read a book by Nat Hentoff that seemed to place Libertarians in the liberal camp, and I got a little confused. Now, thanks to your site, I understand a little better how Libertarians can be what I consider conservative or what I consider liberal. Thanks for clearing it up." -- Shannon Christman, Dover, Pennsylvania
