Is it the parents or other authority figures? The people you hang around? The TV programs you watch? A book you read?
How can 2 intelligent people look at the same circumstance and come to such divergent views on cause and effect? How do they see such different realities?
Blows me away...

It's a combination of people you're around, books/magazines/newspapers that you've read, TV/Movies that you've watched and most of all, experience. Two intelligent people can read/watch/experience completely different events.
Except for PD
, liberals tend to be young. As they age and get more life experience, many become more conservative. I've watched it happen with myself and each of my 4 siblings, including their spouses. I've rarely seen anyone go from being conservative to being a liberal. I'm sure it exists, but it nothing I've personally witnessed.
