Sometimes, I'm liberally conservative and other times conservatively
liberal, depending on the subject and my frame of mind, but normally,
I'm just "off the wall", or as one instructor in college described me
.....a platonic hedonist .... then again, my daughter says.......(never
mind what my wife says)

I have observed over many years that, were we to make generalisations, power

tend to think of themselves as more "liberal."

I know what my observations have been but I wonder what others here might
think.

Most sincerely,

Oh Lordy, Lordy!
But, I disagree. Powerboaters are generally testosterone driven,
while sailors are more cerebral.

Politics is secondary between a man and his boat. It's more intimate
than that. )

LOL! "platonic hedonist"?
It scares me that I think I know what you mean...!
Is that a "passive-aggresive" with a boner? )


....sorry. Lord, I apologise.

So what kind of boat would a Libertarian pilot?

FWIW we're starting with a single screw power boat.

One that didn't require a license, could go fast and use as much gas as you
****ing well pleased or go as slow as you ****ing well please when powered
by a sail.

Does that sound suitable?

I bet a Libertarian is the kind of idiot who would clutter up a NG with off
topic drivel scattered with profanity. Most Libertarians are so self
centered they don't think about anyone but themselves.

Sounds like you feel that it's moral to force people to donate to causes
with which they don't agree -- at gun point.

So far I've refrained from Ad-Hominem attacks -- why haven't you?

df,
I was not making fun of you or libertarians, jps was talking about how
Libertarians are so self centered they don't care about anyone else, and I
was showing him the irony of his making that statement while at the same
time polluting this NG with his OT drivel.

Based on the above drivel, I take it you're a Libertarian.
