Мария, горько горько Вас разочарую ( very sorry about your thumb, btw ) : я вижу клиники точно так же как и Вы. Потому что , хотя многие прогрессивные идеи я подерживаю, но от шизофрении не страдаю. Not sure how many liberals you personally discussed those matters, but most of them are just as sane as most conservatives. But then, there is this fringe on both sides, and you seem to extrapolate your perceptions from looking at that fringe.
Btw, I am very disappointed at how this healthcare Bill is shaping itself.
There is one thing about liberals you might not know: they tend to be very critical as well as self critical.
