Hi Di, Hi E,
it is not inconsistent, if You apply ML's definition of a liberal.
"My classification of someone being Liberal is anyone who thinks it is ok to do whatever seems to be --Right in their own eyes--, regardless of whom else is Hurt by their Poor choices in Life !"
And, yes I know, we are all so above these tight definitions.
Just, why am I constantly being called a rebublican or a racist, just because I am not on the band wagon of the big O? (O = letter or number?, it's in the eyes of the beholder)
