That’s the thing. The term libertarian is so loosely defined that it’s probably a good idea to retire it.

The meaning of words in general are being undermined. Language is supposed to be a medium for conveying ideas.

God confound our speech once. The great imitator is doing it again today.

Which, ironically is why I cannot support the general libertarian positon on gay marriage...it changes the word, and the institution, of a contract I signed many years ago. But my conservatism is a healthy dose of libertarianism plus a few principles around the edges...
