. It's kind of like being a conservative, only we dig the notion of legal pimps and hoes. And it's kind of like being a libertarian, only we really dig our military. Is that clear?
I then tell them how the above is only a model to help us understand people's political beliefs and that the model is too simplistic. I then build a much more elaborate model and use an x-y graph to illustrate (excuse the bad screen cap from a lame slideshow). The x axis is support of economic intervention by government. The y axis is support of social intervention by the government.

I always thought you were far right like Improbulus Maximus.

How can I argue with a guy with a name like Max Power? Guys want to be him and chicks want to be with him.

I'm far right? Please, explain what that means to you, before I tear into you.

I'm not looking for trouble Improbulus Maximus. I'm just saying you are far right. There's nothing wrong with being far right. Please don't hurt me. I'll admit I fear you. I remember what you did to the last guy that criticized you.

Rusty, that model might also have an interesting "look" if you rotated it clockwise 90 degrees.

Yeah, fine, but what the hell does
far right mean to you? What ideology are you subscribing to me? To whom are you comparing me? Let me cluebat you real quick; I believe in liberty and justice for all, the rights of individuals to self-determination, and constitutional republican government, i.e., everything our founders intended. I don't care who you are or what you want to do with your life, as long as it doesn't infringe on the rights of others, particularly mine. But, if you
do infringe, I'm ready to fight to the death without question or hesitation, which is why I hate islam and wish the hell that the muslims would go ahead and start the war in America, which is inevitable, so I can enjoy killing some of the bastards before I get too old. My birthday is soon and all I want is a muslim in my rifle sights. And a pony.

Well, to tell you the truth, wanting to legalize prostitution (which I find abhorrent) is so far right that it's left. In other words, it's so far to the right in that a person wants the gov't to stay out of it that they end up agreeing with liberals who want a bye for bad behavior.
Same with marijuana. Someone like Dr Rusty might say, "don't enter my house to look for drugs" while a hippie lib would say, "Dude, I'm just looking for a good time. What's the crime."

I believe in letting stupid people kill themselves and ruin their lives and not interfering in the process. In that case I think that if people want to pay prostitues for sex and shoot drugs, I couldn't care less. But to think that either of these will ever be legalized wihtout onerous legislation and an increase in crime and that the taxpayer won't bear the cost of both is ridiculous. Which brings us back to letting stupid people kill themselves and ruin their lives
without interference.
It'll never happen that way.

A crime should be defined thus:
A deliberate act which causes direct harm or loss to any person or group of persons. Anything which does not fit this description shouldn't be a crime, including prostitution and drug use. Not that these things shouldn't be controlled, but putting people in jail hasn't done anything but fill the jails.
