Alan: In the main, liberals believe things will work out.
In the main, conservatives believe calamity is "just around the corner," that humans are incapable of incarnating widespread goodness and that everyone is well-advised to look out for themselves, to sequester as much wealth as possible and to anticipate end-time conflagration at the end of humankind's one-way dead end street.
We become what we perceive.
Or, as Henry Ford put it: "Whether you believe you can -- or can't -- you're right.
