The first kind seeks an uncomplicated life, knowing the world and its people will thrust enough complications into his life without him inviting more.He will strive to " Live and let live". Folks who were born and raised in a rural setting will have this as their default setting.
The second kind just CAN'T just "Take it like you find it and leave it like it is". They get bored easily and will seek out like minded others to take turns preaching to the converted. The cities are full of these people. Their primary entertainment is finding new places to eat. I suspect this is a perversion of the same instinct that drives the first kind to hunt, fish, and plant gardens.
Either kind can be Liberal, or Conservative as far as politics.
The second kind is a PITA.

Preaching to the choir brother Cur, preaching to the choir. Seems like most everything that embraced and lived thru the 60's is now a political activist hellbent on destruction.

The second kind is a PITA. I don't agree with your analysis. The live and let live have to go into politics to protect themselves. The others want everyone to do what they do. If they don't they go into politics to force them.

Its pretty much black and white.
However, liberals are the second type. They may not raise hell pushing their agenda, but they damned sure vote for those who do.

There's Basically Two Kinds of People Some would say only one type, all being unworthy sinners,..apart from the deluded sinners who think they are better than other sinners... Like the hog in Orwells Animal Farm- who wanted to be considered more equal that the other filthy swine from whence he came..  Many christians are torn between what scripture says and their own highly inflated opinion of themselves.

Afaic, the unchristian liberals are those who think they are better and smarter than others and want you to submit to their superior ideas.
They voted for Zero. I've never known what I considered to be a real christian who didnt think of themselves as pretty sorry sinners.
Drs can tell you you not to drink too much or smoke. Just because they dont doesnt mean they think they are better than you.
I have seen people who thought they were christians and also thought they were better than me, also.
I knew better and they will learn better.

Funny how folks' appraisal of themselves differs from that of an observer. Nobody wants to be the second kind of person, but they are here, aren't they?

yes, but delusion/escapism is just a form of convenient fantasy distraction from the glaringly inescapable. they even tell themselves that the mirror on the wall lies to them...

Gene, I'd like to think about your post for a bit. Would also appreciate sittin' by a campfire and listening to you tell what led you there. Same here.... but it doesn't matter what Gene necessarily talks about... Lot of life learned wisdom in that man.. As Texans go, Gene is the real deal... Around Gene, I feel like a kid again, listen to my granddad talk to me, my brother and cousins....ya hang onto every word...
