What's a liberal? I think letting folks alone who aren't bothering anyone is liberal. I think owning weapons is liberal. I think letting folks smoke whatever they want is liberal. I think letting 'em sleep with whoever they want is liberal.
Liberal (to me) means allowing liberty ... I'd call the anti-gun folks facists, or control freaks, or dayum nosy .. but that'd apply to most any issue where I wasn't being harmed and somebody wanted to regulate the behavior.
When did the concept 'Liberal' change definitions? Far as I can tell, our founding fathers were awfully liberal, and this country has gotten MORE liberal in it's Constitutional Amendments, (allowing more liberty to all non-harmful people no matter gender or race) ..
A trend that hasn't had much approval lately, near as I can tell. The problem isn't liberty, it's the lack of (public) awareness concerning the necessary connection between 'Liberty' and 'Responsibility' .. give up the second, the first will disappear. Sez me, newbie here, and I hope I don't offend *too* much with this personal opinion.
