As for my life in history books, like my not-quite hero Thomas Jefferson, I cannot live without books. Today, I received my latest order from Amazon: A biography of the great California architect Irving Gill; a book about the TV Show The West Wing; and "Managing Sales for Business Growth."

Man does not live by the nut flush alone.

I just ordered a couple of books off eBay, on recognizing edible wild plants.

I think I can already recognize nuts.

Ever tasted sheep sorrel, minty birch twigs, wild wintergreen, or cattail roots? Those I know, but there are many yet to learn.

It's for when I buy a little place up in the Northern Wilds. Coming soon, here's hoping...;-)

Reading takes on a special deep rich flavor up in the woods, in a cabin, by a wood stove: with starlight everywhere outdoors and balsam fir tree smell faintly ever-present in the air. It's been such a long time, really. Just a ways yet more to go.

I came out as Enterpriser, but WTF: "Enterprisers are also the strongest backers of an assertive foreign policy, which includes nearly unanimous support for the war in Iraq and strong support for such anti-terrorism efforts as the Patriot Act." Nooooo.

ack now to the current topic: it seems to me that "liberals" and "downbeat" tend to go together a bit more than the flip side go together: would you agree? (not a trick question, and "downbeat" is here meant as a rather pessimistic outlook).

[/ QUOTE ]

Not according to this survey site. As a test, I changed my answer for the first question from strongly agree to statement 2 to strongly agree to statement 1 and the calculation flipped between Liberal and Upbeat. This was done holding every other answer constant.

So, you and Andy are not far apart, are both basically liberal and upbeat.

Who knew?
 

Poker players are such a bunch of liberals.

This group has nearly doubled in proportion since 1999, Liberals now comprise the largest share of Democrats and is the single largest of the nine Typology groups.

Hell, this is also why the number of fish at the tables has doubled since 1999!

Well, let 'em think that. I know where the money is coming in from.

Re: ...To which the conservatives will respond
 

Politics have nothing to do with the ability to play sound poker.

Wow!!! I would have never considered myself Conservative in anything. But according to the test I am a conservative Deomocrat.

I came out as liberal, but I don't see how.

[ QUOTE ]
Strongest preference for diplomacy over use of military force. Pro-choice, supportive of gay marriage and strongly favor environmental protection. Low participation in religious activities. Most sympathetic of any group to immigrants as well as labor unions, and most opposed to the anti-terrorism Patriot Act.

I selected the pro-miliatry options and the anti-environment options. They didn't ask me about abortion. I'm only "liberal" by their definition when it comes to SSM and religion.

My bet is this poll is slanted toward liberal to attempt to convince people to vote liberal.
