That statement pretty well defines Libertarianism as it is understood by most; I'm free to do whatever I want, as long as it doesn't infringe on your freedom to do whatever you want.

I'm not trying to start a semantic flame war, and I agree that the definition of Liberalism has been warped (it seems now to mean "do what you want and someone else will pay for it"; your opinion may vary). That definition is what most people accept, however, and like most of its mirror philosophies on the right, it does not advocate individual freedom for everyone (it divides individuals into classes).

I think the word you're looking for, at least in the USA, is "Libertarianism". Both the left (hate-speech/crime laws, social justice via tax code) and right (religiosity) routinely act counter to that idea, regardless of what their ideologues might say in public.

If this is actually true, you should probably get it checked out by a licensed electrical contractor. You (or a neighbor) may have a loose or bad neutral connection that is causing the current to flow on the (usually grounded) coax lines. I've seen this before, and it can burn your house down (coax is not designed to carry house current on the shield). Electricity doesn't just take the "path of least resistance", it takes ALL paths that it can.

With regard to point #2, I (as a residential customer) already pay different rates depending on the hour here in AZ. SRP, one of our local utilities, has a time-of-use system with a digital meter they can read and program remotely. Currently it only has 2 rate schedules, but it can support up to four.

During on-peak (1pm - 8pm; M-F) power is twice what the standard rate payers pay. But it's less than half during off-peak hours and we've tried to shift most of our usage to those times. Laundry, dishes, A/C, lighting, pool pump, etc. are all timed to run during off-peak only as much as possible. All lighting is CF or LED (even the night-lights).

Granted, when it's 115F outside the A/C will run some. But we pre-cool way down before 1pm, and let it rise as much as is tolerable with ceiling fans on (between 83-85F as it's fairly dry here). The result is a power bill about half of my similarly sized neighbors. It's fairly easy to compare in tract houses where they're all the same anyway :).
