I am a liberal but I contain NO vegemite.

It's true, though, that I am made of denim and guacamole. Pretty much entirely.

IMHO, conservatives lead with their (often hard) heads, and liberals lead with their (often soft) hearts. Personally I would much rather be soft-hearted (even if it means also being a bit soft in the head) than hard-headed (if it also means being hard-hearted). I love reason (as in math), but it's very easy to misuse it for very bad ends. History spills over with rationalizations of and by bad people. I think that the world needs more open, loving hearts far more desperately than it needs more thought.
