As much as I hate to use buzzwords like such, This is the fundamental principle of conservative ideology. Hence why Canada is always described as America's socialist neighbour. Conservative cultures are simply more pessimistic towards others, while socialist cultures are optomistic in the face of human potential. For instance, people here tend not to like guns, because we're not afraid of eachother, so all that we see on this issue are the accidental deaths related to personal gun ownership. On the other hand, if you go into the rural areas and the prairies, you'll find alot of people who adhere to the principle that guns should be kept as self defense.
Some sociologists theorise that this gap in ideology could be due to the fact that "city people" have been forced to live with each other for a long time, and consequently, have grown more tolerant of others. |

i was saying the same thing, but my drug use prevents me from phrasing things so eloquently.
