Who is smarter on average; Cons. or Libs. ?
Well, this is a very interesting question. Many things, go in to making a bright person. Among them are I.Q., "street Smarts", compassion, empathy, kindness, wealth, cunning, business sense, -just to name a few. I guess it all depends on just what attributes, you consider as being "smart". I may consider kindness, as a smart attribute to have, where someone else might consider it as just the opposite.
If we were to only acknowledge I.Q., then it becomes a question that can be approached in a manner, that even the dumbest among us can possibly comprehend.
If I.Q. alone is to be the measure, then we would need to start by taking a cross section of the population, with an equal number of Conservatives and liberals. all social classes, along with racial and religious groups must be included. Then simply tally up the I.Q. scores.
Who would come out on top ?
I could only guess, but however the results, I believe they would be misleading.
I think the real question should be,
Which is the righteous, and which has more wisdom; The philosophy of the Right, or that of the Left ?
The Right has a pure Capitalistic view. This view is manifested in such a way as too take advantage of the working class. If left unbridled, it will produce sweat shops, forced labor and just plane misery, for everyone that is at the bottom of the social ladder. This philosophy does not care one iota for the welfare of its workers. This philosophy says that the minority ruling class is to be privileged over the majority. This flies in the face of Democracy at its very core. It is actually closer to the way things were back in the days of yore, when Feudalistic and theocratic societies were the rule of the day.
Democracy, or the "LEFT" was born when the ruled finally figured out that they were the majority, and the real power was on their side. BUT, it must first be organized, because only by banding together can the overwhelming numbers rise up to defeat the kings paid swords. We have witnessed this same kind of awaking of the working class over and over again throughout history. From the rise of the USA and its separation from England, to its own rise of the workers unions in the 20th century.Time and time again we have seen that by the banding together of the lower class, it is possible to effect a change in the lives of the working class to become more Democratic, and thereby, more "LEFT".
Democracy says, everyone gets to vote, and their vote counts just as much as everyone else 's vote, regardless of class or wealth.
How is it that today we see a more or less equal amount of people in the USA that consider themselves Cons. or Libs. ?
Has the upper class been out breading the working class ?
Are there now, just as many Chiefs as Indians ?
No my friends, there will always be a majority that is the "Workers".
So how is it that in the United States of America, The Workers Party, (that is the Democrats), are not able to simply out vote the upper class at every turn ?
It is really very simple why this is so, but I have ranted enough for now. I will let the conversation carry on from here for the moment. There are a few very bright individuals here that can easily pick up the torch and explain this quandary, ...I am sure.
