"I find it interesting that liberals tend to be anti-capital punishment yet pro-choice on abortion...

Conversely, the conservative are pro-capital punishment and pro-life???"

I'll translate that more simply put... in language that the USA can cope with ...

'liberals' who incidentally are not all 'Left' types.... are aware that capital punishment has been abused by rushes to ' get the man' and many times it has been found to be the wrong man. They also are happy to let the woman, and any S.O. in her life make the decision. they tend to see the world as more complex, for they think in R-mode' - seeing many possible option.


'conservatives' - who are not all 'right' types .... tend to think in L-mode, and can only see the world in simple binary dichotomous terms - black /white, etc. They love top make sweeping generalizations, and are 'control freaks' who do not like admitting that mistakes happen - - hence the opposite stances on many things (the same as above) they can only see as simple and straightforward.
