- Well, I think I have to disagree with you on that one. There are quite a few
- liberals here at U.T. Austin, (I pride myself in not being one of them!) and
- Animal Rights is usually considered to be a liberal issue. As for Military
- Aviation, I would have to say that is a conservative issue, and although I
- might be interested in such a topic, I doubt the majority of the U.T. campus
- would. I guess my point is, liberal and conservative issues are probably not
- a good indication of the origin of a post. Unfortunately, liberals can be
- found everywhere... (Hey, lighten up, it was a joke!)
