...how am I a liberal?

In the Classical sense.

DaveTesla is a liberal in the modern sense (i.e., wanting centralized control over people's lives).

[Hemingway's Ghost]

DaveTesla is a liberal in the modern sense (i.e., wanting centralized control over people's lives).

Methinks Dave is under the impression a conservative is defined by the sum total of his stances on particular hot-button issues, i.e., "conservatives don't like porn. Liberals do."

[DaveTesla]

And you just want to do as you please.
And you are not happy doing it alone.
You want others to do it too.

So therefore you don't want any authority telling
you not to no matter what the cost to the rest of society.

How am I doing so far?
