Ted, <Its a fact of life when you have something to lose you become more willing to compromise, more willing to be flexible, less likely to take risks and to be revolutionary etc. In other words, people tend to become more conservative as they acquire wealth.> I've seen some very rich liberals out there, especially in Hollywood and the "mainstream media." You can hardly classify them as becoming more conservative as they acquired their wealth. In fact, they may have gotten more liberal, probably because they can now afford to be. Meanwhile, I've seen some very poor conservatives out there, especially those who would benefit the most from liberal social programs. It's all a matter of values. Huh? Have you been drinking some of D. Ray's moonshine. I thought we were talking about terrorists and criminals committing violent acts, not political doctrine. When I said 'conservative', I meant conservative in their actions, not politics. P.S. - I remember Scumbria telling me that Silicon Valley is full of liberals. And most of those liberals are very rich ... er, at least at the time he told me that. Its been my experience that the people most evolved and not willing to be corrupted by their money nor hoard it like the entire world wants to steal it tend to stay liberal even as they age. ted
