I emphasized the part that I find interesting.  So why do these positions have to occupy opposite ends of the political spectrum?  Is it impossible to hold both opinions without being one or the other?

I would think that if one approaches life from the position of maximum liberty and minimum restraint that one might favor both positions.  I certainly do (in actuality I favor getting government out of both areas of interest).

  1. Folks can’t get past thinking of everything in the left/right paradigm. I prefer to use the more liberty / less liberty scale. I’ve also noticed that the folks who stick to the left/right thing are usually on the end of ‘less liberty’ on my scale!
