A friend teaches high school. He asked his class the following question: Two nephews, one conservative and one liberal, receive equal, generous inheritances from a deceased rich uncle. One nephew puts flowers on the grave and the other urinates on the grave. He asked the class: In their opinion, which was which and had them put their responses on secret ballots.
Three fourths of the class said the Conservative nephew put flowers on the grave and that the Liberal urinated on the grave.
I think this is kind of revealing, at some level, of the fundamental differences between the left and right.
