Yep - these days, when it comes to political differences, I tend to find the authoritarian/libertarian divide more troubling than the liberal/conservative gap (regardless of whether or not I agree in principle with what the authoritarians are trying to impose).
On any issue, I prefer to err on the side of individual freedom and government keeping its nose out...
You write too well... these folks only understand crude backwoods talk like I grew up with in Porterville. That is why they get so mad at me.
