You fit the conservative psych profile to a T, John.
Honestly, I think that my psychological profile is more that of a liberal, just that I don't believe that inequality is neccesarily something we should try ot stamp out (think of the consequences to any solution you'd devise, people... communism failed, and I'm afraid that other systems with similar aims would lead to the same result). Some people will have more than others, that's the way it is. Stop juding your life based on what you have.
I probably would have grown up a liberal if it wasn't for the fact that I suddenly turned poor around 16. Everyone else had their parents buying them cars, and I got nothing. I was jealous, I was really jealous, but I finally had to accept that I wasn't the most unfortunate being in existence. Instead of blaming the plant that laid my dad off, I started blaming the fact that I didn't do anything to mean that I had a car... I hadn't put enough in to get out what I wanted. And the people who got cars for free really didn't seem to appreciate them a whole lot. It's a hard state to explain to someone who never went though it.
Hmmm... as an aside, or maybe a non sequitur, Full Metal Alchemist was a lot like that, thematically... equivalent exchange... think the author was conservative?
