So THAT explains why so many of my peers are flaming leftists!
Defer to authority.. "We need the government to regulate industries, make sure rent prices don't get too high, mandate 'diversity' by enforcing racial quotas, protect us from ourselves with anti-smoking laws, America shouldn't go to war without UN approval"....you get the picture.
Lack critical thought: "No blood for oil! Anyone but Bush! Our right to dissent is destroyed!"..check!
In love with structure and authority: "The government needs to take money from big evil corporations and rich people who exploit the poor working man, and use it to make a level playing field for everybody"..check!
I keep hearing all these claims that there's some kind of huge conservative movement among high school and college kids, but they don't seem to bear out too well in real life. Talk to a few college students and find out what they think of Bush. Or easier yet, read any Fark (whose members are mostly in their teens and twenties) political thread.
