I guess I'm scratching my head here because I have changed views on a number of issues in the course of my life, sometimes on very fundamental kinds of issues. That's inconsistent with the notion that certain political views are genetically hardwired. I suppose it's possible to say that I'm also genetically openminded, but that's a bit of a copout, isn't it? Especially when certain people take the position that openmindedness is a characteristic of THEIR particular political stance.
