Is everyone here really this liberal?

My pleasure, Hindoo. Now I have to play the mummy game and wrap up owlice in her own supply of toilet paper so we can stay on/off track.
Anyone happen to take a quick survey of this particular thread and see what the political/social leanings are? I haven’t shared mine, but I confess, despite her steering this thread tentatively back into those murky waters, my beliefs ally in part with owlice’s (my sense of humor, too). I am probably one of those “one issue” people. I believe that a woman’s body is hers to make choices about as appropriate. I do not feel that others should dictate or legislate this. It shouldn’t be used as a form of reckless birth control, but personal choice is just that. Enough said. Not willing to discuss, debate or go 12 rounds.

That said, I am less “liberal” than I used to be, having seen gross abuses of entitlement programs. They say, you become more conservative when you have something to conserve. I am not a political conservative. I believe I am a moderate- a progressive thinker, as it were. Conflicted in some areas-- ie my s turned down a very lucrative job in the oil industry for a “green” alternative energy job. I admire his dream, his goal, his core beliefs. But in the back of my mind, and occasionally it slipped out of my mouth, came “forget your ideals-- take the money!!”
