Much of what I'm writing about, and due to write about, is based on the principle that one should never be blind to the proper solutions to problems because of dogma or ideology.For those that don't know me, I'm generally speaking on the libertarian wing of the party, meaning I support freedom for the individual and free trade, but I'm also a pragmatist and a realist, and understand that the state must protect some kind of underlying framework upon which individuals can then have meaningful liberty. Humanity is at its very best when it is free, and nothing scares me more than "The Greater Good" where the ends are what matters.
This is the dogma and ideology that binds me, and the challenge will be whether or not I can challenge my own dogma and ideology and not just those of conservatives and the miscellaneous rag-bag of randomness that label themselves socialist.
That is all.

I attended a meeting of the Libertarian Alliance (or one of them :O) the other week and listened to Jan Narveson speak.
He is an Anarchist (what some would call an Anarcho-Capitalist) and it confirmed in my mind exactly what you say above: there must be a minimum framework of laws and a means by which to protect property rights and individual freedom without.
I guess I am what they would decry as a "Minarchist".
A Minarchist! I like that :)
