I voted Libertarian in college, but grew out of it ;)
There's libertarian, as believing in freedom and so on, there's rabid libertarian (betrayed by foaming at the mouth about the wickedness of having to pay taxes to keep up things like roads and police forces), and there's practical libertarian, which maintains the libertarian philosophy internally, recognizes that there are still a whole lot of things that are best done by a government, and votes sensibly in such a way that things work towards a better, and sure, freer, future. So maybe you're STILL a libertarian, but no longer rabid...;-) rgb
