IMHO, you are too young to remember socialism, communism, or the collectives.

The goal of our capitalist system in this country should be to provide everyone the opportunity to succeed (or fail) through their own labors.

That differs significantly from the "from each, according to his means, to each, according to his needs" our new President Elect seems to believe in.

On a seperate note, he seems to feel that litigation is a viable solution to politically unpalatable legislation, and I abhor that concept.

Having said all of that, it is not the leaning that I object to but the lack of factual evidence to support it.

You cannot build a successful society by dragging the top-performers down. You build it by raising everyone up.

Unless you educate yourself and find the facts to support your positions, your lib leanings will probably cause your teammates to believe that you are not terribly bright. If you are very good at what you do, you will likely be accepted regardless, but looked at funny. If you cannot make a good argument supporting your positions, you should probably keep your mouth shut about your opinions. That is what a good SF guy would do in a potentially hostile situation.

Just my .02, you asked.

Thank you Sir
