I have one side of my family (an aunt, an uncle, 2 cousins and their husbands) that are all teachers, and man o man do they ever lean left.
I've always wondered why that was, but never really put a lot of thought into it.

How in your opinion does education direct people to the left. This is really interesting cause I think there is some merrit to this. The stereo type I have of right wingers are that they more meat and potatos kind of people.
I guess I am one that is totally different. I went to post secondary and lean right. I can see where people come from when it comes to social issues like same sex marrige and abortion and all that kind of stuff, but when it comes to other stuff I just don't get it.
Do you like high taxes? Do you like high spending? Do you support governments that are not financially responsible?
Do you support a government that is soft on crime?
When it comes to the military/foriegn policy, do you support your government to stand on the sidelines during the war against terrorism?
Always interesting to hear peoples responses.
