Two different mind-sets are present in Liberals and Conservatives. It is the latter who question Darwin, Global Warming, and express other non-mainstream views. I know this difference colors the discussion here. -I started as a young New Yorker and very liberal. Later very conservative and followed the famous line: if you are not liberal at 20 you have no heart, if not conservative at 40, you have no brain. I know Churchill used this statement, but it goes back before him. Lord Chesterton, perhaps? The following link is like my story, and I am mostly a libertarian at this juncture, one who understands and appreciates the needs for minimal societal rules. In this case the discussion represents how liberal the education establishment is in this country. -http://www.americanthinker.com/2009/10/swimming_upstream_the_life_of.html
