[FRIAM] IS: Disgusting Fish Conversation WAS: words for Nick (political-words focused)

[cody dooderson]

Let me see if I am following this thread.
It is liberal to eat sushi unless you are in japan where it is
conservative, unless it's fugu. It's liberal to eat crawfish unless they
are from the Rio Grande in which case it is very progressive. Owning a gun
is liberal, unless you are supporting an authoritarian government with it.
Unbridled mineral extraction is very much liberal action but opposed by
progressives in favor of a more authoritarian environmental policy.
