Clayton Said:

Does anyone have a statistic on adoptions in republican families vs. democrat families?

We Answered:

No statistics. I'll guess Republicans because they are so family oriented.

But I bet they aren't really allowed to ask about people's political affiliations when they are adopting.

It is an interesting question though.

Frances Said:

Why do Americans tend to assert that Climate Change Debate is all about Republican vs Democrat?

We Answered:

One attempts to corral as many uncommitted voters to one's side as possible. If one has any group more likely to support one, one then tries to co-opt them on the basis of membership in the group.

This works in many situations, because others in the group are not willing to cause a group split based on something that is not central to the group's main philosophy.

If for instance a Republican is going on about protecting Christian values, as Republicans, a Republican who is a Jew is likely to just suck it up rather than offend a large part of the Republican group by asking that we keep Religion out of politics.

Now climate change debate comes as two segments. One is science based, and one is leadership based... in this case leadership is personified in AL Gore.

We can see the science based debate as going on entirely separated from the leadership based debate. The Leadership based debate is pro and con Al Gore as leader. Well, it could have been pro and con Ralph Nader, if Ralph had created An Inconvenient Truth. And it could have been pro and con any of the Republican hopefuls had they created it.

But politics being what it is, if one side tries to lead, the other side must oppose, or find some way to steal the thunder of the leading person.

The interesting fact that many Democrats got on side with Al Gore quite quickly and a lot of anti-Gore people just happened to be in the other camp makes it a natural for political division.

Lois Said:

Is Heatlh Care reform more of a Republican vs. Democrat power struggle?

We Answered:

It is a freedom vs slavery power struggle. There are also enough democrats opposed to it that they may not have the votes.

Chris Said:
