18. I think, in general, we're a tolerant lot.
The other side seems to believe in absolutes. There is so much diversity in this world it can be scary. One way to deal with such great diversity is to clamp down and adhere to a narrow world view. You don't have to deal with the possibility you don't have all the answers.
My "liberal" view of the world allows that there may be other paths, other answers to life's question than the answers I have discovered for myself. This is our major difference, I think.

BTW, I have been lurking on DU for several years and have recently started posting. It's time we all speak up.:grouphug:
