Maybe we aren't as diverse a community at Macinsiders as I originally assumed? Maybe the conservatives are socially different people ? :S Interesting....

People in post-secondary settings tend to be more liberal. At least at first. Ever wonder what happened to all the hippies form way-back? They're the retired business executive and nuclear scientists of today (with a few smelly, hairy exceptions).
I sort of think that some younger people tend to have political views that are extreme one way or another, which then even out as they grow older. The Left offers a great, ideal vision and so many people gravitate toward that, but get a bit more conservative once they're in a position where they must work jobs to support themselves, and find out about adult-scale taxes, amongst other things.
Everyone starts out idealistic and some stay that way, but more often than not people get somewhat selfish and insular. It's not completely something to be ashamed of, we have something like 500 000 years of evolution that saw us having to be this way in order to survive. Whether some degree of this way of doing things is beneficial to the current state of humanity remains to be seen.
