[Mr. Jeeves]

By contrast, "The confident kids turned out liberal and were still hanging loose, turning into bright, non-conforming adults with wide interests."

I've never quite been able to figure out why liberals self-identify with qualities such as "bright", "non-conforming", and "hanging loose", then turn around and demand a system of government that represses creativity and initiative, stifles individuality, robs the productive to support the slothful, and demands a high degree of unthinking conformity.

Liberals seem to think they are libertarians, but until they learn that economic freedom is more important to the health of a free society than sexual license, they will remain Stalinists in drag. ;)

Enjoyable post, Mike.
