    Yeah, that's the usual fanout. And for me, even while I've become more
    sympathetic to social safety nets and single-payer insurance, I'm still
    not a gun control supporter, and don't worship the whole notion of public
    schools. And I'm still solidly for legalizing all the victimless crimes,
    whereas my economic views have always been wobbly. (Not in support of private
    property and markets at the core, wobbly regarding surrounding features we've
    grown in the West.)
