The right fears education and having their children go off to cities where everyone doesn't look and think the same. That is a bad influence according to them, lol. Whats funny is I was a pretty conservative xenophobe when I left WVU during the Iran hostage crisis, it was going to Officer Training School and going overseas during the first gulf war and then Provide Comfort that shaped the liberal you see today. Most special forces guys I ever met were pretty liberal too, knowledge and experience will do that to you.
