I used to think I was a libertarian.
Then I grew up, got married and had kids. Now I’m plain ol’ conservative.
I have learned that most “victimless crimes” are not victimless. The consequences of “victimless crimes” often snowball destroying lives and families, and leading to crime and violence.
For the most part, I’m for leaving people alone, but I have also learned that some people can’t be left alone for a second without them doing something exceedingly stupid. This wouldn’t be a problem except than the consequences of these stupid actions aren’t victimless either, and that getting redress for them is nearly impossible.
I’ll settle for being a God and Country conservative.

I struggle with this. I don't want to tell people what to do with their lives, but I also don't want to be in their "collateral damage zone."
