Oh, Olga. You miss my point entirely. Here you are again
speaking in defense of liberalism, and you are already a
liberal! It doesn't count to say, "oh in my misguided youth
I was a conservative; but I repent!". Do you understand how
your example was self-serving to your present ideological
beliefs? I mean today. With all the arguments and facts
from intelligent all over this list, on both sides.

will). We shall see.
