Ernie Hancock was at his dynamic best for this morning’s show. It is always a mistake to drink decaf before going on the air with Ernie. I appreciate his hearty laugh and his boundless faith in human nature – at least of non-government workers or politicians.
As we were talking about what life influences helped make someone pro-freedom, Ernie mentioned that some psychologists say that there are specific traits that spur individuals to adapt a libertarian mindset.
I told Ernie that I took one of those psychological profile tests when I was a teenager and the results came back saying that I was an a’hole. So I became a journalist. (Details on the preceding descent in Public Policy Hooligan).
Here’s a link to the interview’s MP3 – and to the Vimeo/video version – which mercifully shows only Ernie, not me. But that second page does have some good links to Amazon…. And there are plenty of other links to excellent Freedom Phoenix stuff!
Had a day off and was glad to have a chance to listen live. Glad you are out there doing what you do.
