But I'm not sure I understand how it started. Older people love complaining that younger people don't know the important issues (and vice versa, really), but people freak out if you ask for their input. I just wonder how the heck people decided these things before the information age.
I'm not judging them based primarily on what they say. I'm talking about open-mindedness AS shown in voting record and physical (jobs/appointments) positions they have taken, etc.
Yeah, ever moreso each day. The thing is, most smart people can fake open-mindedness with relative ease, but the knowledge and ability to discuss all sides of every issues only makes on informed, not necessarily open-minded. Ultimately, writing/voting on legislation is the only thing that matters anyway, and that is a lot easier to fake, because there is a record of all of it. Look at Rolands response to Ghav saying Brown was "OK for a Republican" because so moderate: He talks a good game, but voted with his party against "radical" things like Obamas jobs bill, and his re-election could have made Mitch McConnell Senate Majority Leader.

Thanks; I did want to know, but did not want to ASK since it is none of my business.

As you surely know, the old rule I obviously ignore is "never discuss politics or religion."

I don't think my answers matter since I don't live in the US, but I'm bored.
