    Post Modern apparently

    Post-Moderns
    13% OF THE PUBLIC

    What They Believe
    Generally supportive of government, though more conservative on race policies and the safety net
    Strongly supportive of regulation and environmental protection
    Most (56%) say Wall Street helps the economy more than it hurts
    Very liberal on social issues, including same-sex marriage
    One of the least religious groups: nearly a third are unaffiliated with any religious tradition
    Favor the use of diplomacy rather than force
    Who They Are
    The youngest of the typology groups: 32% under age 30
    A majority are non-Hispanic white and have at least some college experience
    Half live in either the Northeast or the West
    A majority (58%) live in the suburbs
    63% use social networking
    One-in-five regularly listen to NPR; 14% regularly watch The Daily Show
    Some of the stances are to black and white I like strong military and diplomacy but you could only pick one and on the environment i believe in some regulation but not overly so but again you could only pick either or.

    Forced choice questionnaires are rarely a strong research choice. Setting up valid dichotomies is VERY difficult and time consuming.

    My aim, then, was to whip the rebels, to humble their pride, to follow them to their inmost recesses, and make them fear and dread us. Fear is the beginning of wisdom.

    I am tired and sick of war. Its glory is all moonshine. It is only those who have neither fired a shot nor heard the shrieks and groans of the wounded who cry aloud for blood, for vengeance, for desolation.

    Apparently I am a Solid Liberal which is miles to the right of my own perceived political stance...

    Another "Solid Liberal" here, which probably translates from American as "pinko Socialist", but I am cool with it.

    Better than flaccid illiberal, anyways.
