George, let me manipulate your analogy. Personalities can be imagined as baskets. Say one notices some baskets are red, some are blue. In the red basket are all sorts of stuff...sights, feelings, mementoes. In the blue basket are symbols, patterns, logic, concepts. The basket is full, though there is nothing visible. The basket with real things is a Concrete's personality. The one with untouchable stuff is the Abstract. Both people, take their baskets and their matured thinking, and their values, and make concrete decisions. If a very abstract person values Economic Growth, and a concrete person values hiking, then their values will be different and their decisions on the new freeway will be different as well. Neither better, just different. <Idiosyncrasies> I was only trying to differentiate the personality of the person, Clinton, from the group to which he belongs, so as not to ascribe one to the other. Otherwise, yeah, it was droll.
