applies to RL too.

Economically I'm more towards the right side, but not 100% by any means.

Same on limits to government. To expand somewhat, I get the general distrust on big corporations that the left has. I also have that. But I don't see the government being an absolute answer either. The same people who fall into a lifestyle of greed and corruption in the corporate world can easily switch over to the political world. This is one stumbling block I have as to why I can't fully support liberal thinking, at least not until I have a reason that I can understand how crooks corporations won't fester and grow in government.

And finally, I don't support republicans that support the opposite of what I posted. This is one of the reasons I joined here.
