Ah, bless you, my friend, you have done my heart good. In our day, it was Francione, Anna May Sheppard and Arthur Kinoy, among others. I just did a quick Wiki on Kinoy and found he represented Ethel and Julius Rosenberg and was partners with Kunstler. Figures!
Great question. I started voting Republican after I read Barry Goldwater’s “Conscience of a Conservative” and before the 1964 election. If I thought a libertarian could win, I would probably vote that way. First, destroy the democrats. Then work on the republicans.
