It's literally my first day on this site, and already I have come across many like-minded individuals. Your story sounds almost identical to mine (although, to be fair, I still have one foot in the libertarian camp). I look forward to reading more of your postings and possibly having some discussions about these issues. I plan on writing my first post later today, and it will be concerning the deschooling of society. I am still trying to figure out how to navigate the site, but I'll check these tags in the future to see any new posts.
