  I consider myself a "classical" liberal (the liberal at the 
time the USA was born), in modern terms conservative.  I don't 
consider myself "liberal" as in modern terms as in governmental 
intervention via social security, welfare, etc.  
  My objection to "liberals" in the modern terms is they 
usually push for governmental intervention, e.g. environmental 
measures, affirmative action, etc. 
    Sometimes, I think confusion rests with differences of 
opinion or view about the inclusion of a topic into "fuzzy 
sets" or the "binary ones."  I started Bart Kosko's ("Fuzzy 
Logic") book several years ago, but have had many other things 
getting in the way :(.

  Grey is the color of nature, reality.  However, I 
don't let the grey of nature to allow me to say "anything 
goes" as in murder, etc.  It is my opinion, to control 
human behavior, which is IMO savage, it is best contrained 
by family, religion, local community -standards- (which 
is a word most who like "grey" don't like), etc and not 
by government dictate. 
  However, a word most who deal in "grey" understand 
is "trade-offs."  Meaning, our views about government, 
etc involve "trade-offs."   This leads us to conclude 
government can't "solve" our problems without cost elsewhere. 
 
Take care, 
John
