    Are we talking European "liberal", American "liberal", or un(il)defined "liberal"?
    To make sure it's on topic. Would Bejamin PLS clarify his remarks in regards to the book(s).

    Liberal, conservative, I fail to see a difference anymore.

    The political spectrum varies from country to country, and, in the US, from state to state.

    Most here that know me well would say that I am fairly conservative in my political outlook.
    I was quite perplexed by the comment concerning Mr. Atkinson's imagined political leanings, especially after reading his books. His works are about as devoid of political content as possible.

    If the member returns (which he has not since making the post), I'd surely want to see what evidence he can provide to prove his theory.

    I'm at the opposite end of the political spectrum from Jeff, and I'm just as perplexed. I guess confusion knows no political boundaries.

    So, nobody is buying my "bad pun" theory. Ah, well. If it's not that, I'm as puzzled as everyone else.
