On the subway today
Posted on March 20th, 2008 by bile Categories and Tags: Uncategorized, capitalism, economics, John Stossel, libertarianism, Ludwig von Mises, Manhattan, Manhattan LP, Mises Institute, New York, politics, Ron Paul, subway car, Times SquareI’m on the 1 train heading to Times Square when at Franklin a woman with a large Hillary button gets on the car and sits across from me. 1 or 2 stops later a guy sits next to me and after a minute pulls out the Mises Institutes Scholarly Edition of Ludwig von Mises Human Action. I start talking to him about it since 1) seeing a person reading Mises on a NYC subway car is fairly uncommon and 2) I’m also currently reading it but had picked up and was reading the latest John Stossel book as a break from HA. He says soming about Stossel and the Hillary supporter looks up with evil eyes and just stares at us. Ron Paul gets mentioned and she looks angry.Turns out he’s a long time libertarian but never bothered with the party. I invited him to come to a Manhattan LP meeting and to check out our website.
I should have invited the Hillary supporter too.
