I have long ago realized that two intelligent people can look at the same facts and draw different conclusions. I have never figured out what life experiences lead to the different interpretations. Most of my friends are affluent and vote Republican. For the most part, I see the differences between us to be more a function of what each of us reads and listens to. For ex., my state newspaper is right-wing oriented. It's clear from the choice of editorialists the paper chooses to print as well as the news wire stories the paper chooses to re-print. Even when my paper prints a Paul Krugman editorial, it will choose one of Krugman's lesser editorials. By lesser, I mean one that's not as persuasive or one that is very inflammatory. Most of my friends are content with this paper, Fox News, and some small doses of talk radio being their main information sources, or so it seems based on their chit-chat. I don't usually hear references made to other media sources, except for CNN now and then.
