<blockquote><font size=1>In reply to:</font><hr>[color:"blue"]Some of those questions, though, I wonder what they have to do with political tendencies? "When you are troubled, it's better not to think about it, but to keep busy with more cheerful things"? "Abstract art that doesn't represent anything shouldn't be considered art at all"? "Astrology accurately explains many things"? Strange, interesting little quiz, none the less. </font><hr></blockquote><p><br><br><br>You can actually (sometimes) tell what a person's political ideals are from their opinions of music, culture, art, whatever. Conservatives tend to prefer the older music of Bach or Mozart to the newer, modern music of, say, Harold Bellman Green or John Cage (who is not a musician, by the way!). Also, conservatives tend to think abstract art is less art than it is the "artist" trying to dupe people and just make a lot of money. <br><br>Liberals on the other hand tend to embrace the philosophy "There is no absolute bad, only personal opinions." So liberals tend to think that abstract art, contemporary music, "free love", are not bad, unless you hold the opinion that they are bad, and even then they're only bad for you, because nothing is absolute, all is relative, yadda yadda yadda. Am I making sense?<br><br><br>Please excuse my terrible punctuation. If you find any mistakes, keep them.

In the midst of your sadness and woe, when you are tormented and afflicted, have comfort! God's will is done.
