Seeing the other side of the fence once in a while.

I am not a very politically active person in general but I do have my own opinions about things from time to time. I often think of my self as a fairly conservative-minded person but do, on occasion, have feelings of a more liberal-minded nature. My guess would be that, in reality, every person does this more than they would like to admit.

I got to watch a documentary which is heavily liberal-minded in class today and I found myself sympathizing with many of the points it made throughout the movie. It was a little surprising but nothing revolutionary. I think it is a healthy thing, to learn about the thoughts of what is typically considered counter to one's own thinking, and I am glad I took the opportunity to do it tonight.
