10. Why do you think it's called liberal education?
Of course reality has a liberal bias. The more you know of reality, the more you know of diversity.

The whole left-wing right-wing thing is a deeply flawed metaphor. It presumes, incorrectly, that we all have approximately the same goals and the same ideas about how to get there, and simply disagree about relative priorities.

There is no center, any more than there is a reasonable mean between intellectual discussion and head-stomping. What is this "center", head-butting?
