I hate that the term liberal has become synonymous with authoritarianism and telling individuals how to live their life. The founding fathers were flaming liberals and that meant that they believed in individual liberty, personal responsibility and freedom from oppression. Individual liberty is the new idea, fresh and progressive, remarkably prosporous for many when allowed to flourish. Having a large forceful government that tells and controls how you live your life is anything but liberal, this is the oldest and most common form of government, democratic or not and not something we should conserve. The so called "liberals" are really conservatives, conserving the old ways of forceful coercion and the so called "conservatives" are hypocritical believers in personal liberty but in reality support the same old forceful coercion as well.
So the world may not be as divided as most seem to think it is, with so many people falling into two sides of the same coin.
I find it disappointing that in Hawaii and especially in Puna, people spend so much time judging and coming up with ways to tell people how to live their lives, not very liberal at all.
