What is that Winston Churchill quote again? Something to the effect of "young people who aren't Socialists are psychopaths. Old people who are Socialists are fools?".
Then you haven't gotten old enough to follow the path and do it yourself, or you're too young to have met enought people. Or you are old and never leave your house.
Id think that many 35-50 year old conservatives were alot more liberal in their views on world affairs and politics, until they got old enough to actually have tasted reality.
And how old do you have to be to have tasted reality, oh Sacred One? Oh, and I'm old enough. I fall right in that age gap, and the more I learn about our gov't, the more fucked up I think it is, hence, I'm more liberal than ever.
is that some (I said some okay not all or most) go with what they think they should do....they should go to church..they should support the president...and they should have children... Liberals on the other hand (again some not all or most) have the ability to see that having children is a choice and are comfortable with not having to procreate. The social pressure on having children is great......the times I"m asked at work how many children I have..and when I tell them none..they look at me like theres something wrong with me. Have a co-worker...female that told me she wasnt' sure about having children..been married 5-6 years....and she got pregnant...now regrets it.
Had a person tell me that the reason I don't want children is because I'm selfish.?!?!

Callen, I think I follow your take on this right but I don't believe I can go along with the idea that Cons are more apt to fall in line with the standard and Libs are more free thinking. I tend to think that human nature runs rampant for both groups, they will tend to fall in line so to speak to the same degree but the line moves off in a different direction. I agree that there is some social pressure with this too but it would seem to be tempered by the setting or environment. I'm not sure though about your point with the co-worker, I guess if your not sure don't get pregnant.

...and yet they continue to back "abstinence only" sex education. Go figure.
