When I was in Australia the only thing that got damaged was peoples
livers, (okay and 1 table, 2 chairs, and some glassware, but even
the owner agreed I didn't start it) and I believe the rule at
extropian gatherings is "leave your guns at the door" so you have
no reason for concern.
I believe your definition of "liberal" is closer to "socialist"
than to the classic version of liberalism I subscribe to.
