I guess that it holds some truth. I do not group myself with anyone and as it turns out I am somewhat both of those descriptions.

I think I fall into the "conservatives in a messy room should not be worried" bucket. Wondering if they need to get out of the city a bit when doing those surveys.

I am a posting machine. That's kinda lazy and less effective than the pmbuko model.

Yes they do. My Masters is in Rural Sociology and one thing you quickly notice in that discipline is that the vast majority of “social science research” targets university students and urban dwellers, rural areas are an afterthought, curiosity or aberration to most “social scientists.”

I liked this one linked on the same page.

Democrats and Republicans Both Adept at Ignoring Facts, Study Finds

P.S. As a recovering “social scientist” I suggest taking anything you read about something published in a “social science” journal with a great big grain of salt.

I really liked studying sociology, very interesting stuff IMO, especially when you get past the intro level stuff. I still study it for fun. Right now I’m on an elite theories of governance kick.

I'm a Social Libertarian... the state should be sure that my mess has roads to drive on and that none are left behind and after that, butt out of the lives of my mess and its family.

Social Libertarian (Anarchist)here also, following the thoughts and beliefs of Bakunin.

I'll go with Jello Biafra on the anarchist thing.
