The Conservatives...

Hey People,

Have you noticed how the Conservatives are the ones that are in control of everything? The Church, the country...any and every kind of organization! Why is it that the Liberals aren't? Are [we] disposed to being the minority? Does it follow the bell-curve principle - with the Liberals being at the front, but in smaller proportion? Why might our behaviour be arranged in such a way? Are human-beings - speaking of the majority - scared? Too scared to try something new? Why are they/we (it seems like even Liberals can be Conservatives with respect to different issues. I mean, a person might have a Liberal view on gun-control, but might turn around and be rather conservative when it comes to abortion!) scared?

That brings me to the issue about being scared being a quality shared across all life forms. Everything is scared for it's life! Lower the life-form the more it has to be scared of. Yet, human beings, being at the top of the food chain, is still scared. Just of other humans now. Why is this quality (of being scared) so inherent to all life? Self-preservation?

Anyway, haven't really thought about this. Just thought I'd post this, because it's been running around the corridors of my mind without being inspected yet. So, yeah, if you've got the time, beat it up!

Luv,

C
