Well, personally, I love the bending. My endnote was an attempt to demonstrate a) how the negative-positive freedom limiting rhetoric is supposed to work and b) that it's amenable to ridiculous extremism. That y'all bent it off into a discussion of types of sushi and seafood as a whole further demonstrates how ridiculous the rhetoric is. I.e. I completely disagree with Dave that the Dems (or liberals) do, try, or intend to limit freedom. The whole negative freedom concept is fraught ... maybe the whole concept of freedom (or liberty) is fraught. To me, a better (more useful) dichotomy is deontological vs. consequential ethics. It seems like conservatives lean deontological and liberals lean consequential. But I'm no ethicist.
To be clear, I regularly eat sushi [⛧]. My 9mm magazine is loaded with hollow points, but only 10 rounds. It's locked up in the closet and I never carry it around with me. Am I liberal or conservative? >8^D
[⛧] Do I *like* sushi? No. But I don't actually like any food except when I'm stoned. I eat whatever is put in front of me. I once felt like I disliked beets more than I disliked, say, steak. So I went on a bender where every time I saw a beet dish on the menu, I ordered it. I still don't like beets. I eat mostly salad. I hate salad. It's messy, hard to get the forkfulls into your mouth, too much/little dressing, yaddayadda. Who cares? Now, the *beer*! That matters.
