Haha, it's the way you said "Hellllo Newman." Just from that, it was obvious that you two had a turbulent history and that it would probably be wise not to bring it up. It was also obvious that whatever it was, he was in the wrong. There's no way that deep-rooted disgust wasn't deserved.

Hi Dr. Friedman, thank you for taking the time to answer our questions this afternoon.

I would describe my political philosophy as a system that attempts to account for reality (as I understand it) while erring on the side of individual freedom. I would support dismantling all iterations of centralized authority if I could justify it, but I can't shake the belief that some type of authority is needed to enforce rules that help markets operate efficiently and to the mutual benefit of participants. For example, a transaction isn't truly voluntary if one party is using coercion to ensure the other party's participation. I see a benefit of having an authority that punishes participants who engage in coercive tactics. How would an anarcho-capitalist system alleviate this concern? Thank you again!

I'll check it out, thank you!
