The spin of the questions is such to try and promote Libertarianism. Look! You
are a Libertarian and didn't know it!
On the other hand, I don't agree with the bipolar left/right only viewpoint, and
that is part of the mentality that this is trying to expose. Ignoring the
actual spin and applying some of the ramifications that you list here, I still
come out as slightly more liberal than libertarian, just out of centrist. Too
pragmatic to be dogmatic (sometimes known as wishy-washy). :-)
