I've been in exactly his position, and formed much of my libertarian-style beliefs in direct response to what I saw working within the government.
Having seen it happen anecdotally in literally dozens of cases, I don't think it's that unlikely.
- Iftheshoefits 13y agoDid you continue working for the government after forming said beliefs? If so, then I suggest that either your beliefs aren't that strong, or else you're a hypocrite. In either case, "unlikely" is not "impossible."
- bmelton 13y agoWatching the inner workings of a three letter agency in action formed beliefs that caused me to seek employment elsewhere. That said, going elsewhere required some degree of financial sacrifice, and I don't fault others for not necessarily being willing to go as far as I did with stable, good-paying jobs as dear and precious as they are.
