RIP Keith Donat

I just heard via email that libertarian activist Keith Donat died yesterday in an accident at his place of employment, at the age of 32.

I didn't know Keith well. My most protracted contact came from a time when he, David Macko and I were all serving on State Central Committee, and we'd ride to Columbus together for meetings. He was one of those guys who had come into the LP from the Left, and Macko is a rightist, so trips were filled with loud heated discussions of matters such as abortion, where I could barely get a word in (even if there'd been space to think)...and I am not easy to silence. And there was Dave's contempt for Keith's nicotine addiction, and the stops it required. After awhile, I began to invent excuses to drive by myself.

It may look like you're in a 6 x 3 dungeon, Keith, but I'm convinced that you're free at last.
