ive always been told im an old soul but im a new libertarian in the scheme of things. for example i like much of what erik voorhees has to offer

in some cases the new school or new version of a thing is indeed worse - like music, the big mac, and coca cola. 

but in other cases the comparison is made by folks with more grey to put down those around them. i dont think you meant this but adding the old school identifier in the context of your message implied as much. 

i cant speak to what mike said about the history of the liberal label but i dont see there being a difference in old vs new school
