"Scientific American" magazine December 2009

Page 38:: Conservatives Versus Liberals: Stereotypes with different moral values(sic)

www.skeptic.com www.moralfoundation.org for references(with or without Confucianism?)

"Conservatives are a bunch of Hummer-driving, meat-eating, gun-toting, hard-drinking, Bible-thumping, black and white thinking, fist-pounding,shoe-stomping, morally hypocritical blowhards." Such adjectives are hardly suitable with a grin + a grain of salt.

"Liberals are a bunch of hybrid-driving, tofu-eating, tree-hugging, whale-saving, sandel-wearing, bottle-water drinking, ACLU supporting, flip-flopping, wishy-wshy,namby-pamby bedwetters." Such descriptions are ludicruous and amusing for laugh a lot.

How would the reader rate your own traits? I eat meat with to-fu. (Should be Dou-fu in Pin Yin. Comment: I am neither a full-fledged conservative nor a fully developed liberal but an ordinary human being with Chinese ethnicity as my face value and a regular reader of "Scientific American" magazine with some knowledge + a sense of wisdom.
