have your views changed sense visiting the back room

My views have been sharpened or clarified for me by introspective thought before posting. For instance, inspired by debates here, I gave a lot of thought to the idea of federations, nations, states, and cities. I reached the conclusion that, despite the drawbacks, I prefer city-states as the main world political division.

I have learned that the Conservative Right has some thinking people, and not just mindless sheep who are only driven by the need to feel good about their country.

Why these thinking people support conservative ideology is another debate, but some of the rightwing people here in the Backroom actually do use critical thinking. It's refreshing after hearing the irrational rhetoric conservatives on the street spout.

...still eccentric. A little more Conservative on Government, a little more liberal on moral standards.
