And no one I know is 100% one way or the other. I know people who embrace liberal ideals but live very conservatively and are conservative in their personality. Conversely I know people who embrace conservative ideals but live very liberally and are liberal in their personalities. Then we have the libertarians who are supposed to be socially liberal and economically conservative unless they are the Aynn Rand variety. Libertarianism was embraced by a lot of technies who were apolitical until they started making money. I remeber seeing a book reviewed in Whole Earth magazine (they called it something else) about 10 years ago which definited and graphed all the different political persuasions and I believe written by a poli sci prof from Stanford. Maybe someone here knows the book. BTW, I have friends who think themselves conservative but are easily tripped up. For instance they will go on about needing to privatize something and ten minutes later be complaining about the phone company, gasoline prices, or the cable company. They can't connect the dots. - Bhairitu To subscribe, send a message to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Or go to: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/FairfieldLife/ and click 'Join This Group!' Yahoo!
