Which Way Do You Lean?

[Gaspode]

I'm a bit surprised that so far that the righties outnumber the lefties.

A bit about myself. I started out liberal, then took a left hand turn in my early 20's. Pretty standard for most youth at the time. As I became more aware of the world around me and my responsibilities increased I became more conservative.

Even though I'm a government employee, and perhaps because of that, I believe that smaller government is better, and the less that government has to do with your life the better off you are. Freedom, baby, with all it's consequences good and bad!

That said, I'm mostly here to understand why others have the opinions they do, so I'm actually more interested in viewpoints that differ from my own. I constantly challenge my own beliefs (call my own BS).

Thanks to all you who have voted and posted so far, and please continue!
