In any case. I have a strong suspicion that there's really not a whole lot of difference, in actuality, between conservatives and liberals, except for those manufactured slights that crop up when someone, for example..starts babbling about utopia and the degeneracy of man when presented with an example like giving away free food. The most strident free market captialist could hear me describe my moidel and his eyes would turn into a neverending register of cash signs ticking. The average net per acre out here is 1.4k, and I'm turning right under 10k per..not my best, not my worst. It's just good business. Because it happens to -include- rampant charity (with waste and byproduct, no less)......all of a sudden there's a problem, and it's a pinko commie fantasy that won't work (despite it, you know...working..precisely because it -isn't-).
This, I think, is what people go into this with, when they assign themselves and others these two particular labels. It's just ridiculous, top to bottom, anymore.

I wrote glowingly of africans, because I've been to Africa and am hugely impressed by their accomplishments. Maasai warriors are amazing, beyond belief. Where in the world did I describe them negatively? You keep referencing Egypt...I've spent considerable time in Cairo. The vast majority of US slaves came from western africa, where they were living in mud huts, not building pyramids.
Figures. Brave man.
*chuckle* Not particularly brave. I'd be just as likely to call you a racist shitstain to your face. I've done it for others, and I'm willing to extend you the same courtesy.

I would really like you to do that too. More than you know.
Things are a lot more like they used to be, than they are now.
