That's a good observation, and pretty close to being spot-on. The "left
libertarian" type that David described, and as Curly describes himself,
would be interesting to observe in terms of their voting patterns.

In the election last fall, I voted for Scott Walker for gov because he's
likely to sign a CCW law for Wisconsin, which his opponent would never
have done.

For Senator, I voted for Russ Feingold because he's a pro gun Dem, while
his Rep opponent, Ron Johnson, showed he was clueless on gun rights
issues. The NRA endorsed Johnson.

That makes you sound close to being a centrist, possibly a Radical Centrist
(not a "moderate"), which is what I suspected all along. g "Libertarian"
is freighted with so much Austrian School philosophy, and with a romantic
yearning for 19th century proto-anarchism (without knowing what they're
really yearning for), that it has a distinct crackpot edge to it. To be a
centrist civil libertarian is a very different thing.
