I’m off to California next week to visit relatives in Los Angeles, but we are flying into Phoenix first. I love Phoenix for quite a few reasons, not least the Botanical Gardens and the Frank Lloyd Wright home at Taliesin West. But best of all is the sneaky right-wing thrill you get from driving into Scottsdale along a handsome road called Goldwater Boulevard, named after the libertarian Arizona senator and presidential candidate Barry.
If you have libertarian inclinations (and I do), you’ll find yourself in good company online. Self-declared libertarians seem rather more at home on the internet than in the real world, and among bloggers and online commentators support for social and economic freedoms is far more prevalent than in print.
