Subject: RE: BS: I think I'm conservative
Hey, Troll — I wasn't flaming you — just having a bit of fun myself. Back in the dark ages I majored in political science and love to play with the definitions, since fewer and fewer people really understand that what we call conservative today is really a 17th-century liberal — they want the whole damned ruling class off their back, whether the rulers are there by divine right or by the democratic election of the oligarchy. It's the liberals who want to micromanage your life, take all your money for their hairbrained, usually useless programs and then start a war when somebody doesn't agree with them.

On which note I'm going home....
