I am making no judgements about no judgements about the validity of views. I believe that politics is determined by cultural and historical events. Most businsess people come from the upper class. Those that do not come from the upper class spend their adult life in a business culture. This is part of the republican base. Other parts include the fundamentalist religous groups. The democrats have traditionally had labor and minorities as well as at least part of the educational and professional classes as their base. My point is that with reference to your funny remark that competance and whatever the other positive trait you mentioned cut across these classifications and are therefore independent of party affiliation. _______________________________________________ http://www.mccmedia.com/mailman/listinfo/brin-l
