Investing has always been, and will remain, an operation in which wealth is transferred from those without a working knowledge of financial history to those who have one.

George Lakoff

What do the conservatives' positions on issues have to do with each other? if you are a conservative, what does your position on abortion have to do with your position on taxation? What does that have to do with your position on the environment? Or foreign policy? How do this positions fit together? What does being against gun control have to do with being for tort reform? What makes sense of the linkage? I could not figure it out. I said to myself, These are strange people. Their collection of positions makes no sense.

But then an embarrassing thought occurred to me. I have exactly the opposite position on every issue. What do my positions have to do with one another?
