fwiw it didn't come through as a rant. Most of us if we are honest with ourselves have internal contradictions. It's important to be aware. My wife is fundamentally a socialist (we are in Canada so it's not a misunderstood bad scary word :-). But she is also a home depot manager, where she is the voice of capitalist market forces. What she wishes the system should be, and the system she is daily a part of, are frequently at odds. I personally find extremes of any given philosophy to be impractical and untenable. I respect more people who, like it appears yourself, say "this is my general leaning,and these are my pragmatical exceptions".
