(?) > > ~ P_T ~ Excellent point! Every liberal friend I have eats meat, lives in luxury, preaches about this or that but takes no action. I however really piss them off because I am a hardcore conservative...I'm Libertarian with conservative social issues. Yet, I homebirth, homeschool, cloth diaper, do not eat meat, recycle, compost, make everything from scratch, only watch about one hour of television a week (CSI). I practice what many Leftists I know preach:) I take care of my environment, do my part, but do not expect the rest of the world to. And those that want the Government to regulate everything really don't understand what consequences would be... Warmly, Allison Mail Plus – Powerful. Affordable. Sign up now. http://mailplus.

I'm a Liberal and was trying to conserve the environment, be self-reliant and so on probably before you were even born. Nor do LIberals want the Government to regulate everything: that's just propaganda, dis-information. Political discussions on mailing lists and Usenet inevitably degenerate to name-calling and ill-will. You've just insulted me, for instance, probably unmeaningly.

Guest guest Posted November 21, 2002 Report Share Posted November 21, 2002 The dearest people in the world to me are Liberals. And I am a rarity in the Conservative front. Environmental issues are equal to regulation. Wonderful that you're politically passionate...So many aren't. I didn't mean to insult you. And I didn't stereotype, I pointed out my observations in people I personally know. Notice I always typed the words 'I know' after each Liberal or Leftist. I never said all Liberals were like this. Only those I know. I never name called. Seems you took what I said out of context...Sincere apologies that you misread, I can understand why you became angry. Good for you for being environmentally conscious...Since before my birth. (IMO) I don't see anything wrong with speaking politically on this group...I'm sure many are political about their vegetarianism. Just as long as no one flames, gets hostile, or as you put it; name calls. --- Pat Meadows <pat wrote: > On Thu, 21 Nov 2002 12:35:56 -0800 (PST), you wrote: > > > >Excellent point!
