I thought you were done.

Just to be clear here is a definition of the concept:

Quote:
–noun
1. a person who advocates liberty, esp. with regard to thought or conduct.
2. a person who maintains the doctrine of free will (distinguished from necessitarian).
–adjective
3. advocating liberty or conforming to principles of liberty.
4. maintaining the doctrine of free will.
[Origin: 1780–90; libert(y) + -arian]

—Related forms
lib·er·tar·i·an·ism, noun

If we look at the historic basis of great societies and cultures at the basis there were the above concepts. You think this is incorrect?
