Comments on: The Difference Between Left and Right http://deanebarker.net/blog/post/544 It's like an electronic mirror, into which I can gaze.

Both sides seek to improve the world, methinks, but obviously have different core values. Like you, I see myself adopting elements from both sides. But I'm fairly certain the graphic was created by liberal-leaners, which of course is not surprising. It seems that within the web development community, liberals vastly outnumber conservatives. Definitely some loaded terms here.

1) From the “votes for” box for liberals:

“Helping those who cannot help themselves” — Right, that’s why they tend to support abortion(?)

2) Summary quotes from the Society & Culture box at top: “the world can be improved” (liberals) vs. “the world is fine as it is” (conservative) seems like a gross oversimplification that clearly makes the liberal appear more noble. Both sides seek to improve the world, methinks, but obviously have different core values.
