One of the things I love to read about is how former dyed-in-the-wool lefties all of a sudden experience a pivotal moment in life that causes them to embrace small-government, anti-statist principles. For some, this comes as they purchase a home and start paying property taxes; for others, the birth of a child; and for others, a seminal world event like 9/11 or a powerful political force like Ronald Reagan emerging on the scene.

Here's a good little piece from a former Hollywood lefty who came across based on his realization that sound public policy arguments must be based on more than just condescension and snobbery.

Sound familiar?
