Both more or less.  I'm not trying to be specific, but I'm thinking of the american version of libertarianism vs. the old european or communistic version of libertarianism etc..  So don't sweat it.  Now, moving on...

I know. The problem is that their petit bougeoisie allies stole the title of "liberal" away from us.

I wonder if the guy in Part 1 wearing the pink pants did that spontaneously...

 

On a serious note, that was awesome.  I'm going to pass on the link to some friends at work who share some similar views politically and economically.  I just have to do so carefully, the sheep are easily disturbed and will bite anyone who bothers their rosy view of the world.
