I've had a few changes of heart.
Manx, of all people, changed my mind about NAMBLA. No, they're still the scum of the earth. But mere advocacy for their ideas should not be illegal.
I probably wouldn't vote for Bush again...I'd try to find a right libertarian instead. There's too much to hate with spending and civil liberty policy. No, Bush hasn't become Hitler yet, but as a poster from another board said, "It's not the benevolent dictator that is the problem, it's the guy who comes after him." There's too much potential for malevolent abuse.
I'm less libertarian now as it concerns the social safety net. I'm willing to accept it to a far greater degree, and essentially to judge it on whether it works (rather than whether it's fair to the middle and upper classes). Within (and here's that classic ambiguity) reason.
