"In every country on earth going back to the beginning of civilization, it has been the curious (read liberals) who have given us strides in learning. The conservatives in every country for all time just went along with the status quo (that is the definition) and killed the curious ones who broke the "TABOOS". So no learning could take place!!" koan's "theory" explaining liberals and conservatives is so shockingly infantile as to not merit serious comment. however, i believe it's all somewhat tongue in cheek on his part, and i've been following its gradual exposition with bemused interest; so you needn't take it seriously (i hope!). "coprincus," etc, -- too funny; koan must be a raving right-winger to butcher poor copernicus' name so! -jb ;>

As Mordecai Richler often said, no one need feel uninsulted by my writing. Political insults are the most common currency of our society, so much so in fact, that people agree due to their common nature, they should be verboten. Sadly, the concept of liberal moronism is not terribly funny to liberals who fear it may be true, nor is it to conservatives, who often have the same sentiment, so the sly reference, hardly to be taken as an more than an accusation of mock horror, hits home far more deeply than it should. The fact that liberals are morons does occupy me far more than it should. Rising above it in hypocritical sublminity however, and ignoring the ills they have plunged this fair country into for the past 40 painful years would be, my psychiatrist says, unjustified represssion, and therefore occasional primal outrage expression therapy is a valuable, encouraged safety valve, as long as it does not become a feedback mechanism in and of itself. The easiest way to overcome depression and rancor if one has voted liberal in the past and seeks to justify that by having one's decisions publicly sanctified, (which can be excused if one likes to live in a world of hope and promise as it is said), is simply to deny liberalism.
