so you are now for no gun control at all, Evil corperations are good, for geting rid of the ozone, pumping more cfc's and freon, and ( ok that tax cut one, I think you screwed up there) and now say Screw the poor do nothing for them....
Must be nice
No, I realize that gun control does not work, and results in more innocent deaths, and crime.
I realize that corporations provide jobs, and are actually filled with people... you know, people just like us.
I figured out that you can't get rid of Ozone from scientific perspective, and thus the entire "save the ozone layer" was a fraud and lame attempt to justify more government control.
I found out that taxing the rich, you know, the people that provide jobs and invent in new companies and technologies, is a bad idea.
In short, I found out that all those "well meaning" ideologies that I used to support, were in fact very bad policy, and counter productive. This is what education does. I learn new information that challenges, or contradicts prior assumptions.
Nearly everyone starts out liberal, and then is educated into being conservative. Read Thomas Sowell's A Personal Odyssey for example. A black man who grew up right through the 60s and 70s. Of course he was a massive liberal... until he started thinking. You should check it out.
