Hi, thought I'd get in a late reply.

I'm very flattered and think you might be giving me more credit than I deserve. I'm quite impressed with the writing and thinking of many I see on SI and know there a lot of people here who are my betters in education and writing skill - and you are one of those.

On money and ideology: I think, based on my own observations, that most businessmen, as individuals, are "conservative" and Republican politically. There are exceptions, of course.

But when it comes to political activity, and by this I mean such things as contributions and lobbying activities, business is driven by it's financial interests. Political ideas and allegiances of the individual businessmen count for little next to the corporate bottom line.

That's how things look to me. You're probably right about my (intellectually sloppy) use of the word ideology not being quite correct sociologically or philosophically.

Good night,

Bruce
