              This has been around before, but I still think it's worth =
reading again.


                    A rather gentle explanation of the difference in =
thinking between people with opposite outlooks.


                    A young woman was about to finish her first year of =
college. Like so many others her age, she considered herself to be very =
liberal, and among other liberal ideals, was very much in favor of =
higher taxes to support more government programs, in other words =
redistribution of wealth.

                    She was deeply ashamed that her father was a rather =
staunch conservative, a feeling she openly expressed. Based on the =
lectures that she had participated in, and the occasional chat with a =
professor, she felt that her father had for years harbored an evil, =
selfish desire to keep what he thought should be his.

                    One day she was challenging her father on his =
opposition to higher taxes on the rich and the need for more government =
programs.

                    The self-professed objectivity proclaimed by her =
professors had to be the truth and she indicated so to her father. He =
responded by asking how she was doing in school.

                    Taken aback, she answered rather haughtily that she =
had a 4.0 GPA, and let him know that it was tough to maintain, insisting =
that she was taking a very difficult course load and was constantly =
studying, which left her no time to go out and party like other people =
she knew. She didn't even have time for a boyfriend, and didn't really =
have many college friends because she spent all her time studying.

                    Her father listened and then asked, "How is your =
friend Audrey doing?"

                    She replied, "Audrey is barely getting by. All she =
takes are easy classes, she never studies and she barely has a 2.0 GPA. =
She is so popular on campus; college for her is a blast. She's always =
invited to all the parties and lots of times she doesn't even show up =
for classes because she's too hung over."

                    Her wise father asked his daughter, "Why don't you =
go to the Dean's office and ask him to deduct 1.0 off your GPA and give =
it to your friend who only has a 2.0. That way you will both have a 3.0 =
GPA and certainly that would be a fair and equal distribution of GPA."

                    The daughter, visibly shocked by her father's =
suggestion, angrily fired back, "That's a crazy idea, how would that be =
fair! I've worked really hard for my grades! I've invested a lot of =
time, and a lot of hard work! Audrey has done next to nothing toward her =
degree. She played while I worked my tail off!"

                    The father slowly smiled, winked and said gently, =
"Welcome to the conservative side of the fence."

                    If you ever wondered what side of the fence you sit =
on, this is a great test!

                    If a conservative doesn't like guns, he doesn't buy =
one.
                    If a liberal doesn't like guns, he wants all guns =
outlawed.

                    If a conservative is a vegetarian, he doesn't eat =
meat.
                    If a liberal is a vegetarian, he wants all meat =
products banned for everyone.

                    If a conservative is down-and-out, he thinks about =
how to better his situation.
                    A liberal wonders who is going to take care of him.

                    If a conservative doesn't like a talk show host, he =
switches channels.
                    Liberals demand that those they don't like be shut =
down.

                    If a conservative is a non-believer, he doesn't go =
to church.
                    A liberal non-believer wants any mention of God and =
Jesus silenced.

                    If a conservative decides he needs health care, he =
goes about shopping for it, or may choose a job that provides it.
                    A liberal demands that the rest of us pay for his.

                    If a conservative reads this, he'll forward it so =
his friends can have a good laugh.
                    A liberal will delete it because he's "offended."

                    Well, I forwarded it to you.=20
