Thread Name: How would 'YOU' define 'conservative'?
Subject: RE: How would 'YOU' define 'conservative'?
Rick, personally and politically I'm neither.

Little Neo, I can't imagine being told how to vote, though I know it happens all the time, but not to me. No one would presume to tell me how to vote, and if they did I would tell them how to get off...even if there's not much to vote for...usually it's a choice between evils.

My taste in guitars is quite liberal, but that's as far right as I go. In my neck of the woods I see the Liberals as right wing as the conservatives (who are governing poorly and bizarrely) and I'm so far removed that I don't count politically. We are slowly killing ourselves by killing the environment, little else matters. The meek are not so blessed if there's no earth to inherit. I can't really define myself except to say that capital and lower case C conservative I'm not.

Re voting: if you choose not to decide, you've still made a choice. I've destroyed my ballot rather than voted. Practically no one represents me.

Before I consider politics I always consider this, by considering politics do I risk my belief system? The answer is always yes.

Peace, Mooh.
