<p>Damn! You NAILED IT Cody...</p>
<p>I think we need to build a fault-tree of this to explicate it and
then begin to elaborate it and analyze the myriad loops
(representing contradictions or mere iterations?)...</p>
<p>Your perspective is VERY progressive in the most conservative
way!</p>

<div>It is liberal to eat sushi unless you are in japan where it
is conservative, unless it's fugu. It's liberal to eat
crawfish unless they are from the Rio Grande in which case it
is very progressive. Owning a gun is liberal, unless you are
supporting an authoritarian government with it. </div>
<div>Unbridled mineral extraction is very much liberal action
but opposed by progressives in favor of a more
authoritarian environmental policy. </div>

personally, I love the bending. My endnote was an attempt to
demonstrate a) how the negative-positive freedom limiting
rhetoric is supposed to work and b) that it's amenable to
ridiculous extremism. That y'all bent it off into a discussion
of types of sushi and seafood as a whole further demonstrates
how ridiculous the rhetoric is. I.e. I completely disagree
with Dave that the Dems (or liberals) do, try, or intend to
limit freedom. The whole negative freedom concept is fraught
... maybe the whole concept of freedom (or liberty) is
fraught. To me, a better (more useful) dichotomy is
deontological vs. consequential ethics. It seems like
conservatives lean deontological and liberals lean
consequential. But I'm no ethicist.<br>
<br>
To be clear, I regularly eat sushi [⛧]. My 9mm magazine is
loaded with hollow points, but only 10 rounds. It's locked up
in the closet and I never carry it around with me. Am I
liberal or conservative? >8^D<br>
<br>
<br>
[⛧] Do I *like* sushi? No. But I don't actually like any food
except when I'm stoned. I eat whatever is put in front of me.
I once felt like I disliked beets more than I disliked, say,
steak. So I went on a bender where every time I saw a beet
dish on the menu, I ordered it. I still don't like beets. I
eat mostly salad. I hate salad. It's messy, hard to get the
forkfulls into your mouth, too much/little dressing,
yaddayadda. Who cares? Now, the *beer*! That matters.<br>
