I am also in 12th grade, and I am seeing much more liberal views in teens today, though most of it is ignorant and uneducated liberalism. They all think everything should be ok, and the government should give everyone money. Funny, I live in a very conservative state, too. Those ignorant today all turned out to be conservatives, and now a switch is being made.
Personally, I'm part of your libertarian rise you speak of, but not because of anyone else at all, except maybe John Stossel. I've done much studying and analyzing the world, and I just find the libertarin vision for America is the one which best envisions the intent of our founding fathers and embraces our future and modernity.

I really like John Stossel too. I have seen three of his videos. Greed is Good, Stupid in America: How We Cheat Our Children, and the oen where he went to the Soviet Union. They were great and they changed the way i though about economics, which in my opnion is the motivation for everything (only thing karl marx ever said that was right). I have also been influenced by people like John Locke, Voltaire, Thomas Jefferson (as a thinker not as a president), and Mark Twain.
