A few weeks ago, I downloaded Second Life without consciously connecting it with libertarianism. How interesting that, only a few weeks later, Drew Carey presents this video about Second Life as an experiment in liberty, in the same way that America could have been called an experiment in liberty when it first began to be colonized.
