What they're saying is that we can look at an inequity and understand why it may exist and how to cope with it.

For example:
If you're not paid as much as your boss, you go out, get an education and get promoted. That's the conservative take on life.

The lib, on the other hand, would whine about the inequity, form a commission to study the inequity, write legislation to form a new agency to regulate the boss/employee wage disparity and raise taxes to fund it!

Understanding how the world really works contributes to happiness!

conservatives. When they say that ones economic situation "supposedly" depends on hard work and success.
But whatever, I agree with you on the difference between the two.

too, and then I read it again. The second time through, it didn't sit well. In fact, it just seemed like a big old smackdown in some ways.

Ace has more on the report

Just a typical, small town, white girl...

On Ace's web page 'Ace of Spades HQ' he wrote:

Meanwhile, of course, we have no psychological studies delving into the quite-interesting riddle of why liberals claim to care so much about the poor but donate so much less money and volunteer so much less time to charitable causes. I'm curious as to what "rationalizations" liberals have to justify such behavior.

Ace, no study required, it's because they think it's the Government's job, not theirs!

I went off to read Ace's report and...bam that was the exact thing that came to my mind. Liberals would think it is government's job to care for the poor...but I don't think I could find a paragraph on that in the constitution.

I do, however, think that it must have been one of those penumbras and/or emanations.

I don't know about any other Liberals, but I'm happy. Maybe that is because I just finished with three finals and don't have another one until next week, or maybe because Tim Russert said yesterday that Obama's gonna win the nomination.
