Warren, I found the place where your friend kd brought up this post. It's a very interesting conversation, but I don't want to link to it without an admin's okay.

That said, I understand where kd is coming from (and s/he's welcome to thwack me upside the head any time I seem to be getting over-analytical) to some degree. But the point of this post wasn't to try to get everybody to agree on some other term as a collective—rather, it was primarily to point out that the question of "What do libertarians stand for?" is now being seriously asked, and considered, by genuine libertarians. I found that a bit disconcerting, to say the least.

Regarding another's speculation, I realize that I may be an example to others, but I'm not particularly comfortable with that ... so it should go without saying that I'm not seeking to expand it.

And I, too, very much like that "plaid side" portrayal.
