A deep and murky subject

 

So this is based on a simple idea.  Is it more likely for someone

who identifies as liberal/conservative to dissemble? My guess is

someone has studied this and there may be an answer.  The

deeper subject is whether or not that arbitrary individual is more

honest, because that is a much more difficult , or deeper issue.

Well, I don't know, and probably won't want to know, because

I like to consider that in an average day I will tend to act

liberally a few times and act conservatively another couple of

times, and therefore my dissembling will average out. 

I really like to think of it like this.  If you see a performance of

live music you will notice that some people tend to perform from

the left side of the stage, and some from the right, and some maybe

more in the center.  It works better that way.  Ultimately it is the

coordination of those different positions that allows the performers

to succeed in what they are trying to get across.

There is that issue of " principals " of course.  As far as principals are

concerned , they are most like sign posts, that point in a particular

direction.   Ideally they should point in a true or real direction, otherwise, 

they don't help.  So pointing a little to the left or a little to the right 

would not be helpful.

I think it's kind of an interesting subject, even though it might certainly

be somewhat deep and murky.  Some might even say " mucky ".
