[Grovenet] The Problem with Electing Authoritarian Conservatives

[Walt Wentz]

I think it must at least be less stressful to be more "liberal" than 
the general populace. (Unless, of course, you live in a dictatorship 
in which the general populace regards "liberalism" itself as a 
crime).  Generally speaking, "liberals" seem to regard the world as 
capable of improvement, and humanity as mostly good. This attitude 
fosters an optimistic attitude, and combats feelings of helplessness, 
apathy and resignation.
