I once knew two people who had a strong dislike for each other because one considered himself a democrat and the other considered himself a Republican. The Democrat was a huge proponent of enviornemntal issues and beleived strongly in women's rights and racial equality and diversity and all that, but his economic ideas were decidedly conservative. The Republican was an economic nut (he was working towards a masters degree on the subject) and held closely to generally conservative economic principles, but he also believed the enviornment and equal rights were good things. So, for those of you keeping score at home, they basically agreed on every major political issue, but because of their subjective interpretations of what it meant to be a conservative or a liberal, they could hardly be in the same room. <BR/><BR/>Strange. <BR/><BR/>Thanks for writing!

People have all kinds of opinions about abortion, and a discussion doesn't obligate one to change the other's mind. Just seeing what the other has to say can be useful.Suzannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15038275826830875246noreply@blogger.com
