"I actually consider myself a "conservatarian" which I define as a person who has conservative views, but doesn't force those views upon someone else or give a rat's a$$ what someone else does in the privacy of his own home, as long as his conduct does not directly infringe upon the rights of another person."

Well, that pretty well describes me as well...but that's also my description of "libertarian"!!
Where do you differentiate between "conservatarian" and "libertarian", my FRiend?

The difference between me and a true libertatian is a matter of degree. A true Libertarian might take the view, for example, that people ought to be able to drive as fast as they want as long as they don't hurt anyone else. That's stupid, because if you do get an accident, then the chances are pretty good that you're going to hurt someone else. And even if you don't hurt me, accidents result in increased insurance rates and increased insurance rates reduce my net wealth, which makes me angry.
