Really? A libertarian?
I describe myself as a “conseretarian”-conservative libertarian.
And I think you can just laugh. A liberal would throw cowshit at my head, and a commie would try and kill me in my sleep.
When you say “conservative,” does that mean that you are a social conservative or a fiscal conservative? Because if it is only the latter, then you are likely a textbook Libertarian.
I guess I could just call myself either a Republican that supports minimal social interference or cheap-ass Democrat.
I’m also beginning to think I’m in the wrong forum. At least if I post here, I don’t have to worry about anyone inviting me to “The Challenge: 2008!”

Ummm…mostly fiscal. Yeah, I’m not that far from textbook libertarian. Funny. Last year at one of the State Fairs there was a Libertarian booth. There was one of these map/charts of who was what in their beliefs, and a test you could take that would show you where you landed. The guy was kind of obnoxious. Finally I told him I knew exactly where I’d be, and he challenged me. I put a pen mark on the square I knew I’d wind up, and took the test.
Lo and behold, I was one space over…because I do think there should be some controls over what goes out over the public airwaves and apparently a true liberterian doesn’t.

How annoying the radio has become. I usually (95% of the time) listen to CDs, as I want to listen to what I want to listen to when I want to listen to it. But I was driving to work today and decided to scroll the radio. I thought that just maybe some music could be found so I could see what’s new out there in an effort to not be totally out of the loop. Unfortunately, EVERY preset station (9) save for one country station was following this format:
one or two guys
one woman
blabbing about NOTHING
not funny
not thought provoking
not entertaining
Yes, that country station was playing music, but as expected, it was country music. Thus I hit the CD button again and continued my ever-so-exciting drive to work.
So, when did this happen? When did radio go from suck to super- suck. Jeeez … I guess I understand the momentum behind satellite radio now.

Noticed the same shit here I’m origionally from New York and the college radio stations were kick ass and always played good up to date music without the BS talk shows .But here in Colorado all the staions are like JOE DIRT backwards and out of date and in the mornings when headed home from work every channel has some GAY ASS talk radio show . I have a Cd player in the car but want sattelite radio just because of the variety of choice which is something that appears to have been lost in radio not to mention the over censoring of air waves by the FCC .
In Philly they recently dropped the only alternative rock station- best damn morning show- bunch of guys, and girl but it was hilarious- these guys weren’t dumbies. Replaced it with a preexisting rap station that got traded off with a gospel station. Y100 the rock station, was a part of the community with many fundraising activities and just generally a part of the city- buuuuuuuuuuuttt we’re screwed now- better get my cd collection ready.
