Interesting post;
With regard to political
ideologies, i have met many socialists who
impose the most right-wing and
pecuniary priorities on their friends and
relatives, showing great indifference on
a personal level, and i have met many conservatives who personally are rigid, opinionated and intolerant, yet generous, even magnanimous on an individual level, and whom you can trust to be truthful and reliable.I don't mean to generalize but to point out that the compassionate ideology schtick may be too much for human nature in some political crusades.
