I agree and that is what I was trying to point out in my warped way.

That we are all individuals and on some issues every single person may have a differing viewpoint.

In fact it should be encouraged rather than attacked and treated as if the person all of a sudden is a babbling idiot.

It's how true change within parties and in society works.

With very few exceptions, no one is totally "liberal", or totally "conservative". You have found an issue that, because of you own personal life experiences, has you sounding a little...well...conservative. Nothing wrong with that. Just don't expect your "friends" to come along for this ride. Maybe they'll catch the next bus, or the one after that...who knows. Just remember...all of the buses go to the same depot. Cool?
I know the buses get to the same depot, but it is just amazing how interesting this is.

I have often said I am more conservative than I appear. I am very liberal but one can and should be, it allows one to see each issue that is important to them as an entity of its own and thus allow one to formulate an opinion true to themselves (if that makes any sense).

I guess I definately cannot be seen as a lamb that quietly and without question goes with the party line.
