It also allows me to voice something I've been thinking for some time now: What the hell happened to being a liberal?
At some time in the past, "liberal" meant believing that a person should be allowed to go his own way, make his own choices, and accept what those choices led to. Nobody had the right to control anyone else. Nobody had the right to punish others for the decisions they made. What was yours was yours to use as you saw fit.
But today, our so-called liberals take every opportunity to control every aspect of everyone else's lives. Every choice others might make are prohibited or made mandatory. Nobody can be held responsible for what they do - except for those who oppose the "liberals." Everything imaginable is taxed, restricted, redefined, or abolished.
There is virtually nothing liberal in being today's liberal.
