BillyJeff 2 Gave me an idea.

Ole billy boy started this here thread:http://straightrazorpalace.com/conve...cientists.html

My first thought when reading it was " I wonder how different those results would be if taken 50 years ago when American education wasn't nearly as politicized as it is today" Then I thought "What about the average college education and not just one geared towards science" Then I thought why not a poll. My hope is that everyone who looks at this thread will vote, and vote honestly as I am looking to get an idea of the members here and what roll education and age has played on their outlook, No one needs to post but I will enjoy all responses. If you do post keep in mind this is very unscientific research for my own edification and not intended to be a debate so please keep disagreements with each other to a minimum, meaning state your point of view without arguing with others. I won't stop you if you do though, unless it becomes unruly.

I'll let the poll speak for itself.

I think you forgot the poll

Sheesh! Give a guy a little time why don't you.

No way Mr. Mentor, gotta make it snappy! I voted conservative, but it honestly depends on the policy we're talking about. Overall, I'm sure I would be characterized as having conservative values

^This smiley makes no sense to me, but I felt I needed to use it.

[AFDavis11]

I voted; over 40, college degree, conservative. Not sure if I'm conservative though.

[aroliver59]

I didn't vote.I'm over 40,no college, but the only choices are liberal and conservative.I feel like I'm somewhere nearer the middle.

[fccexpert]

I'm a libertarian, so no choice for me.

In everything except drug use, I am a Libertarian. IMHO...NOBODY has a right to recreational drug use!

he's explained his views on this in another thread... even though i disagree with him for idealogical reasons, he has a well thought out position and he and the other libertarians here (e.g. me and a few others) have a respectful mutual understanding.
