If you want government to intervene domestically, 
you're a liberal.  If you want government 
to intervene overseas, you're a conservative.
If you want government to intervene everywhere, 
you're a moderate.  If you don't want government 
to intervene anywhere, you're an extremist.

There is only one basic human right, 
the right to do as you please.  And with 
it comes the only basic human duty, the 
duty to take the consequences.
