> I tend to be more consevative than librals and more libral than
conservatives. I guess I'm a dyed in the wool moderate. At any rate, I
think I'm more tolerant than I was in my youth. Back then I "knew" so
much more and was always right.

Carol responds:

So you had your Hermione phase, too? I don't have anything to add to
this picture except that I identify with it completely--and it's very
hard to choose a Presidential candidate when there's nobody in the middle!

I do remember being told in eighth grade by a student whose views were
even more liberal than mine were at the time, "The middle of the road
is a good place to get run over." I didn't have any response to this
witticism and still don't, except maybe the wisdom of Aristotle:
moderation in all things.
