I am packing my vehicle this evening. Forgot I didn't have my vehicle inspected and have to do that in the morning on my way out. Ugh! LOL!

Re: The Hobby Lobby Decision

Hey, ILG. I am cleaning up my bookmarks and found this interesting article that I forgot I had bookmarked. LOL!

It's from July, so it's an after the fact, but I thought when you had some down time, you might enjoy reading it. I noted an interesting point.

Jonathan Haidt Can Explain The Liberal Hobby Lobby Freakout

Haidt reports on the following experiment: after determining whether someone is liberal or conservative, he then has each person answer the standard battery of questions as if he were the opposite ideology. So, he would ask a liberal to answer the questions as if he were a “typical conservative” and vice-versa. What he finds is quite striking: “The results were clear and consistent. Moderates and conservatives were most accurate in their predictions, whether they were pretending to be liberals or conservatives. Liberals were the least accurate, especially those who describe themselves as ‘very liberal.’ The biggest errors in the whole study came when liberals answered the Care and Fairness questions while pretending to be conservatives.” In other words, moderates and conservatives can understand the liberal worldview and liberals are unable to relate to the conservative worldview, especially when it comes to questions of care and fairness.

Thanks PO! I bookmarked it to read later. I also wanted to say that I am really, really glad I took this challenge from my daughter. It was a really good decision because it has opened up some communication that would otherwise not be there.
