It is kind of interesting. I am on the conservative/libertarian side but I have been in the Mac world since the Summer of 2002. I also been a Linux user since 1995 - hard to believe it has been 13 years. At the time Linux was only in the x386 world and not in the Sun/PPC/other processors yet. I not only toyed with Linux in the x386 world but also with the Sparc chip and PPC as well.

I also teach a class at the University concerning MS Office and the students kind of know my Apple and Unix slant especially since I have been a Unix Admin for many years.

Even with my political slant and I also like Rush Limbaugh - watched his TV show many years ago and I remember his requirement for the audience to wear business suits. Yet, I myself, I dislike business suits and prefer simple blue jeans, Teva sandals and t-shirt/sweatshirts over dressy type of clothes.

The people on the "right side" of the aisle are as varied in diversity (I hate to use the word - abused on the left side) . But it boils down to a simple word - freedom. the left talks about the word but yet when people want to practice the ideal, they get pretty p*ssed off about it. A manager I worked for is a liberal democrat but yet, anything I wanted to do even to going to go to take a d**p, I had to always ask permission, just like people in communist countries. In the two classes I teach, some of the freshman students actually asked me permission to use the bathroom. I mentioned that if you need to use the bathroom, just quietly go and do your thing and were adults and not in high school. If I am teaching next Fall, I will mention it.

Well, enough on my soapbox, it has been a long day, later....
