People are making up their own definitions to suit their own views then. The definition of a liberal (with a small 'l') is someone who is open-minded, not bound by traditional orthodoxy and free of bigotry.

What statement would i like to hear?
I'd like to hear this " It is now mandatory for every person on this planet to apply and execute common sense to their daily lives".

That might be a good start...

I'd like it if L Ron Hubbard had said something like this;

"Writing for a penny a word is ridiculous. If a man really wants to make a million dollars, the best way would be to start his own religion."

Oh...wait....
