*** Bring in a group of admitted liberals to judge a painting. In your intro, be sure to leave the message that the artist is a liberal activist in some way before the painting is unveiled. Then get their opinions on the painting....Next bring in another painting by the same artist. In your intro, leave the clear message that the painter is a conservative activist, perhaps even a Tea Party member. Then have the group give their opinions on the painting.

No it shouldn't have a bearing......but sadly people generally, until they've transcended such, do still fall into the three categories I've noted.....could you agree with this?
do I need to remind you of categories?Followup Messages:
