Okay, okay, I know both conservatives and liberals who are not open to varying opinions. Most people who feel strongly about their views are less likely to want to hear other opinions.

Yes, and many conservatives would like us to teach creationism as fact, and put prayer back in the public school. Personally, (and yes, I am a liberal) I have no problem teaching creationism as one of beliefs that people have--and since I brought it up, I don't think organized prayer belongs there.I think the way Ronnie presented the possibilities was wonderful. I also think that sex education ought to include abstinence as one form of birth control.

If it was as good as it is, I'd watch it.

I agree that people ARE alike, however, given the conservative people I know, I still think that FEWER conservatives are likely to enjoy this show than liberals.
