Seek First To Understand ...

"My hypothesis is that progressives, conservatives, and libertarians view politics along three different axes. For progressives, the main axis has oppressors at one end and the oppressed at the other. For conservatives, the main axis has civilization at one end and barbarism at the other. For libertarians, the main axis has coercion at one end and free choice at the other."

Well said sir - I always try to remember that, no matter my contempt for politicians themselves, my friends and family tend to believe in ways aligned with what is good about them.
