The definition of liberal has morphed quite a bit over the centuries. I hail from the camp now known as "Classical liberalism"[0]. I value freedom and consider the government to be a necessary evil to be minimized.

From the other comments here, it seems we're all from the US, but I'd imagine if any Europeans chime in, they'll have a different take on the word liberal altogether.

I certainly thought I was adding to the discussion here, but perhaps not. Should I have mentioned I strongly support science? I'm not sure what I wrote that is so offensive.
