Priorities

this is an oversimplified model of religious conservative vs. liberal motivations:

conservative:

1. wealth (corporations, oil, stock market, etc.)

2. power (control, government, religion, etc.)

3. happiness (derived from 1 and 2)


liberal:

1. happiness (individuality, self-realization, spiritual interaction, etc.)

2. power (responsibility, knowledge, literacy, etc.)

3. wealth (family, comfort, good beer, etc.)
