I know I really don't belong on this board. I don't follow politics like a rabid dog looking for the next thing to talk or worry about. I am concerned though of people feeling a deep seated need to suppose what drives other people when it seems obvious to me they are not fully aware of what drives them. I self identify as liberal but little what conservatives posit liberals think like applies to me. I've learned that what people say has more to do about them then whatever they think they are really talking about. Life is too short to be in a rage or even look for things to be mad about. But that's me. To me being liberal is being concerned for the welfare of others and not just for myself. I think there should be a safety net and think the abuses of the system should be corrected instead of the system being abolished entirely. People can do the same thing, i.e. buy a Prius for different reasons and just knowing someone ones a Prius doesn't mean they are a showoff environmentalist. I think they are sinfully ugly and look uncomfortable, but if that changed I might consider them even though I don't like how people choose to see them. I remember when I used to eat well, less processed, more organic foods and a few co-workers actually thought I was showing off or something silly. Wasn't true. But that did give me valuable information on how they think. I could say I wonder what drives people to make fun of whole categories of people but that wouldn't be entirely true. I already know. People who are generally happy with themselves and prefer to be empowered about fixing the world's problems and their own don't waste time on dissing others. Likewise, misery likes to create company especially if it can pretend the other is a lower life form.
