Just a fact - is that not statistically accurate?

Er, sorry..nope...I'm a capitalist stock picking machine. If my
diversity of policy endorsements confuses you it is only because I treat
each situation as a component of the whole to be evaluated. I've spent
1/2 my political life split betwixt the Reps. and Dems. But I vote
issues and evaluate based on performance. And I keep my nose in the
ecosystem to see what works and why.

You may have felt at a loss due to your inability to equate human
ecosystems to animal ones. Don't worry. A basic course in urban ecology,
buffered with some biology and meteorology will get you there. It's all
wave theory and food chain. Once you understand survival, greed( a
component thereof), and random numbers you'll be fine!

I dunno - some good, some bad, and a lot of learning. I keep trying,
keep reading...you?

No I'm a centrist on domestic issues, a radical on personal liberties,
and a conglommerist when it comes to group think...

Religious right'ers in general - born agains, Morons, Cat-lckers,
Baptists, etc.

Shiny happy people having fun - their fun only please!

Didn't mean to imply you were any one of the above or others not listed
- just a general thought about religions at large.
