You said you're a libertarian, right? I skimmed one of your posts in the National Debt thread and that's what I gathered.
If so, it's great to see another one here. Actually, I'm not entirely sure I am a libertarian, but I do have a Nozickian concept of rights and government's role (it's very accurate to call me a minarchist). Many libertarians tell me I am not one because I favor government intervention in the internet in certain circumstances, including distribution of privacy-violating videos/audio, and select few other things.
However, on most of the important things I agree with libertarians, and am always glad to participate in conversations with them. I call myself one because it more accurately represents my views than the ambiguous designation of "conservative," even if I have respect for classical (pre-Buckley) conservatism.
Hope to see you around the MD! We could use more advocates for limited government.
