If you can't tell a liberal from a communist, I would suggest - as you say you don't know where to start, start by going to school, work real hard, get into grad school, and you may in fact be able to tell the difference between a communist and a liberal, however, you may also become a democrat, as the majority of Americans with graduate degrees are democrats, now in the anti intelectual environment of the republican party, I realise this does not sound good, I remember a line from a film with John Malkavich, where the German fellow says to him, "this child looks to bright, we don't want bright children, we Germans are plodders..." I should go and grab a bite, I'm a wee bit hungrey, I havent had breakfast yet and its 11 pm, and I get a bit short tempered when I'm peckish...
See ya
PS Good on ya troll, I infact am quiet fond of the bard - I believe he was a closit Irishman.
