Liberal and Conservative Oversimplistic Labels?

RE: Liberal and Conservative Oversimplistic Labels?
Here is mine:

I find it interesting that the average quiz takers are in the left Libertarian square, non-interventionalists and culturally liberal. I'm a little MORE of all of those than average, but it seems like the quiz takers, at least, are tending to lean that way.

And yes, I agree that simply calling people liberal or conservative is too restrictive and misleading. Even this graph can only go so far. I'm pro-choice and pro-gay rights, but I don't think everyone has the right to procreate (I should addend that to procreate ENDLESSLY). I obviously think we need to lock up murderers and rapists, but I'm anti-death penalty. So on the one hand, I don't think we should regulate people's moral choices, but on the other hand, there are circumstances where I totally think we should regulate people's moral choices. Both times they asked that question, I didn't know how to answer it, so I didn't. It is dependent on the specific situation.
