One of my colleagues recently informed me that he was certain that I was a liberal-democrat. I found this idea very surprising and assured him that was not the case. But in hindsight, most of my friends and peers have come to this same conclusion over the past several years. My response to them was “You guys are just so far to the right that anybody to your left seems liberal.” I am not certain why people come to such a conclusion, but if I were to venture it a guess it would be my vocal disapproval of conservative attempts to enforce their values on the general public through legislation even when I share those same values. Nonetheless, I took the World’s Smallest Political Quiz today. It confirmed my position as a libertarian.
