I think some pretty strong *Fascists* co-opted the term "Libertarian"
for themselves.   My experience with the *L*ibertarian self-identified
is they seem to lean toward a virulent extremist willingness to *assert
their will* on others under the guise of protecting *their will from
subversion* .   When I was younger (more juiced on the hormones and
rhetoric and appeal of competition?) I was more seduced by some of
that.  Now it just makes me feel systemically ill.

I don't know you well Carl, but from what I do think I know, you are
clearly *very* independent and *very* considerate of others and their
personal freedoms.  That sounds pretty *l*ibertarian to me FWIW.
