Reply #4: There is a book out there that made it all clear for me. I seen a review

[IsItJustMe]

of it on C-SPAN. Something about an ELEPHANT.

Basically, in a nut shell, it said that there are two views of a father. One is naturing, kind, and says you need to take responsibility for your actions and you need to help your fellow man in this journey we call life and the world is basically a good place. This is Libs.

The other father figure says, You have to carefully, The world is a cruel place and you better take care of yourself because no one else is going to do it for you. This is the Cons.

The author then goes on to describe how all of the issues (gun control, abortion, anti-social programs, ...) all result from these views.

I wish I can find this book. It brought real clarity.
