Great topic Roach!! I have been meaning to bring it up and asking especially people like you. I just haven't really had the time and wherewithal to articulate a meaningful discussion.
For me, much of my politics and social consciousness is simply shaped by my observations and experience. I am very well traveled, have lived in many different countries and have a diverse group of friends which contribute as input. Over time, there have been many changes of course.
When I was a wee lad, I was quite the leftist and revolutionary. As I get older and wiser and begin to understand the world better, I have slowly progressed right and now am a progressive conservative.
I will stop here for now because I'm not sure how you would like to frame the discussion forward and I want to make sure I am within your guidelines before writing more.
