BE Re: <<I used to be left-wing when I was at college. Now I am older and have more common sense, I am much more to the right.>> I was born into a Democratic family.. A rarity for farmers/ranchers then, much more now.. And I was liberal then and on through college and am becoming more so now.. Why?.. Because I am thoughtful and observing.. And I have seen , Not everybody came from the same mold.. Not everyone has the same opportunities.. Not everyone has the same experiences.. AND then not everyone Has the SAME REACTIONS to The SAME experiences.. for whatever Reasons.. And so .. We have to make this crucible called America, large enough and inclusive enough.. for ALL..And that includes, not just for the Present..but for the Future.. and for the future of our Mother.. our life support system.. I am not afraid to help someone.. That could provide future competition to me.. I am secure in my abilities.. I do not want to hold some group down because they might provide some competition.. Based upon what I have read here on SI lately, my thoughts and philosphies are only becoming more galvanized.. As I wouldn't trust most on SI to take care of my above concerns.. I read from people, that I was born Democrat and am now Republican.. As if they found the "light" and the rest of us are poor lost sheep.. Well I don't like that.. Some of us have just retained our values.. without being overcome by selfish temptation.. Besides, I sure as Hell, don't buy into much Churchill ever said.. Maybe that quart of whiskey, I heard he drank per day destroyed that "feeling" side of his brain.. have a good one.. coug.. wondering where GWB would be today if he was born the son of a ribbon clerk..
