A major diffence between Liberals and Conservatives....

[ScreamingMeemie]

My good friend-who also posts here- will read a good book, and then lend it to me. Even though she knows it might be years before she sees it again. An acquaintance of my husband's (I say acquaintance because I don't want to claim him by friendship) just SOLD him a good book he read for $5.00. WTF? It's a paperback even. The conservative way to get ahead in the world.

1. It's that sharing thing.

Liberals like to share. For us, enjoyment doubles when we can share something that gives us pleasure. Repukes are just not into it. For them, sharing diminishes their pleasure in what they have. It's all about More For Me and sharing makes you a loser.

2. Good books are meant to be shared with friends and loved ones.

It must be that conservitives really don't have any friends or loved ones.

3. ummm...

actually its not good to generalize...I have a good conservative friend who likes to share good books across the political spectrum...in fact he has been more friendly than some of my liberal friends who don't read at all

6. Your liberal friends who don't read probably don't share books much

But they could be friendly in other respects. ;)

4. Amen. I gave a guy a book once at a company christmas thing..

and he was really touched. He quoted someone (Jefferson? Ben Franklin) that said someone who gives me a book is a friend for life.

Kinda hokey. Kinda cool.

I'd rather have a friend for life then $5.

5. Hmm, maybe I should charge the right-leaning "vote my wallet"

type at work a dime every time he borrows my "today's paper" for his restroom break.

Teach him a lesson in conservatism.

Wish I could remember where I read it, but I remember a guy saying he started out as a kid, buying the comics and letting other kids in the neighborhood read an issue for a dime a copy.

8. That was in Rich Dad, Poor Dad

Can't think of the guy's name right now... hawaiian chap...

7. In a similar vein...

...when I make a personalized CD comp on the computer, sometimes I run off several additional copies as gifts to friends who I think will enjoy them, too. Good music, like good books, ought to be shared with your favorite people!

10. To tell you the truth, I didn't notice

Your post has fewer misspellings and typos than many I have seen here, if you think about it.:shrug:
