yes this is self-evidently correct yes it is.

personally, i think the data is more interesting than the interpretations offered of it--which is frequently the case.
so i floated an alternate riff that i thought erased some of the interpretive problems above. but it substituted different ones.
Like I have stated in the past concerning your analysis - In some cases I don't think it is that complicated, and in my case I doubt I am as "deep" as your analysis suggests. In spite of what you may think, I am not easily influenced by media, talking points, ideology of others, etc., as I have become to understand how I think, reach conclusions, and respond, it has been consistent throughout my life. Perhaps, "conservatives" are born and not made.

Of course it is not your reality. I accept the fact that different people reach different conclusions (or alternate realities) based on a number of factors. I respect those differences, do you? I would never tell you that things from your view point are not reality after agreeing that we do not and will not see an issue the same way. We know I thought Iraq under Sadaam was a threat and you did not.
