Hmmm. I'm not quite sure I completely understand the principle of Occam's Razor. Let me take a stab at it:

Would you rather have a neighbor that was...

B. ...a martini drinking liberal who voted?

How's that? ; )

Put me down for the Hippy. He won't try to run every aspect of my life.

Having a Liberal around would be no better than having an abusive, live-in boyfriend (if one were a woman).
