Devil's advocate question:

Are more liberals drawn to academic careers, or does education precipitate liberalism?

Please refer to post #78.

I think it's a lack of ambition, fear of failure risk/reward type thing, along with the opportunity to try to program kids that their way of thinking is superior.

Although I guess if parents did a better job instilling values in their children, the schools wouldn't be able to.

That, and....I'm not a liberal. I'm a moderate.

And your stance on abortion?

Boooo, both parties stance on this issue are completely moronic as well as philosophically opposed to the stance on the death penalty (within each party of course).

Ohh.....you were talking about me!
Actually, I did read that article in the post. Didn't find it particularly interesting. Some of my professors definitely fall within the 13% "conservative" bracket. Others don't. Really creative though.
If someone who is anti-gun-control, anti-big-government and anti-welfare is "lefty".....what does that make you......."ultra-uber-righty"?

Well, I bet it's not me...

Yup, even in OK, our state school was filled leftist professors. When I was young, stupid and didn't pay attention to the world around me I didn't notice. I look back on it and see it now.

The basic premise of giving up risk/reward for stable job with no real expectations quickly explains the political makeup.

Little gem in Obama's Nobel lecture, gee what kind of Utopian society is he hinting at.

what do you call a doctor who nearly failed every class and just barely managed to graduate by a few points?


doctor.

Why does everyone manage to fuck this joke up?

It's "What do you call a med student that nearly fails every class". Doctor blows your punchline.
