Also a good point Zeld. When you define the words "liberal" and "conservative", you are correct. Although in our society today, no one really goes by that terminology. A dumbing down of America can be blamed for that (but the cause of that is a whole other thread). So, yes I am a liberal-minded person in that I am willing to change, to see other options, to question, etc. I do not believe that because something is the way it is or has been that way should dictate its future. But when it comes to politics, I lean towards conservatism in economics (money), judicial, executive and legislative issues; and liberal when it comes to social issues. In essence, this is more of a libertarian ideal, meaning less government, more freedom.
