Well, I think I have to disagree with you on that one.  There are quite a few
liberals here at U.T. Austin, (I pride myself in not being one of them!) and
Animal Rights is usually considered to be a liberal issue.  As for Military
Aviation, I would have to say that is a conservative issue, and although I
might be interested in such a topic, I doubt the majority of the U.T. campus
would.  I guess my point is, liberal and conservative issues are probably not
a good indication of the origin of a post.  Unfortunately, liberals can be
found everywhere... (Hey, lighten up, it was a joke!)

Dan.
