I don't post as Guest because then I can't send or receive PM's.
And by the way...I really don't care what you consider.

In answer to Lox's question....

What good would it really do to answer the question? Just go back and read some of my posts as Susu's Hubby.

That's really such a broad question and can be answered in very broad terms.

In the other thread, I pressed for an answer because I knew the same thing about "liberals".

They're both impossible to put an exact definition on because of the nature of all of the beliefs surrounding each issue. Besides, with the preconceived ideas that everyone has in their heads about what the terms mean then this thread is doomed to lapse into a meaningless argument between the few that just hang around to find chinks in the other's armor. Just look at the "Why we're Liberals" thread.

Look at the oil issue.

In just that one issue, you have the opinions of people in Texas who say drill, drill, drill. But you also have the people in Washington state saying no drilling for the good of the spotted owl. But then you have the Gore dominion screaming about global warming because of the burning of those same fossil fuels. But if you look at the alternative energy such as wind, electric, and biofuels, you have people still screaming because of the emissions of steel plants that make the windmill towers or the environmentalists screaming about the cutting down of trees for the poles to string of electric lines or you have the middle class soccer moms screaming about the cost of corn or other foods because of the demand put on those items in the interest of making biofuels.
You see, with just that one issue, it opens the door for thirteen other ones that tie in and connect.
We can go by dictionary standards all day long but in the end, will it make it any clearer to you?

I think you know the answer to that.


YES!!

By the way the following link helps to make my point.


I'm in total agreement with this.....
