Before politics - it's the golden rule for me:
Treat your neighbor as you would yourself, and most of the worlds troubles will go a way!
In an idea world I would agree.
Problem is: '
how' one may want to be treated, often differs, from neighborhood to neighborhood, and from culture to culture.
Sorry Scott, I'm not here to explain or debate . . . I wanted a conservative to be heard.
As a freethinker, I'm not a member of a political party, nor do I label myself conservative or liberal.
I evaluate each issue on its own merit and without influence of any given political or religious doctrine.
To better help me come to my own conclusions, I enjoy hearing from people of all different persuasions and political viewpoints.
How you come to your conservative viewpoint would be fascinating to learn, as much as how Larry, Chas, Taike, Bill, etc. came to their differing view points as well.
Because we hold such longtime Synthzone friendships (up to 12 years for some of us),
I doubt whatever political discussions made here will ever approach the far more member divisive arranger keyboard brand/model preferences,
so hope you might reconsider sharing more about your background and political perspective. - Scott
