The main thing for me is the upholding of people's rights to do whatever they want as long as it doesn't directly affect anyone else (so legalizing all drugs, removal of marriage from any form of government sanctions, etc). I also believe in a strong free market, where the government has minimal to no direct involvement, and where the corporations are held to account by lobby groups and their own consumers.
Spot on, mate! Your defense in the post above mine is articulate and bloody brilliant. I would give kudos, but I don't know how. Lol.
