Good article. As a libertarian-liberal, I find the two-party winner-takes-all system to be abysmally inadequate. What drives me crazy is when Democrats and Republicans each blame the other for authoritarian behavior. It's a completely different axis, but we don't currently have the apparatus to make these distinctions in the general political dialog.

As a libertarian-liberal,

How can that not be an oxymoron?

[The Libertarian Dude]

That's because Dems and Repubs ARE to blame for authoritarian behavior. Or, more correctly: authoritarian behavior *control*. What differs is WHICH behaviors each party seeks to proscribe and micromanage.
