content: In college I came to the conclusion there's two types of people.  Those that think there's something wrong with the world and looking for a way to contribute to fixing it and those that are just looking for a way to enjoy life while they figure out how to connect more dots.    The former will usually become republican after being disgusted by liberal democrats and if they keep maturing they eventually become conservatives.    The latter will tend to be liberals because it's a superficial cause with people that say nice things and help distract you from the idea they're all leading frivolous lives.
