[ga] Liberalism versus Conservatism

[Hugh Dierker <hdierker2204@xxxxxxxxx>]

I had never seen a pattern of tendencies on this list which indicated to me people reacted or acted out of either a liberal or conservative view. Well Hauptman got me thinking maybe I just did not see it over my last few years since the WG Review. 
So the dutiful student that I am, I researched. I do not see any really consistent views expressed by one party or group or another along those lines. As Hauptman labels me I am a conservative, yet I argued for more control and less worry about mission creep. I should be all big business but I coined the term dotcommoner and have faught that there should be no exclusions based on ownership of a domain name. (I only use those as examples)
Take the UN in general - quite liberal, but when it comes to WIPO and IT quite conservative.
US District courts in general - quite liberal, but when it came to cybersquatting quite conservative. China policies quite conservative, but when it comes to IT again quite liberal.
 
It seems to me that theft, chicanery, misrepresentation and abuse by monopolies most people decry no matter what side of the isle they are on.
Stability, reliability and security are what both sides of the isle are looking for in the end.
But no, I do not see a division between conservatives and liberals within this industry.
Except perhaps in Herr Hauptmans' mind. But if someone has some opposite examples, I for one would like to see them.
