31 Signs You Might Be A Bobo

5. You have a liberal arts diploma or working experience in the left-leaning world liberal arts Self-explanatory. 6. You care about eating organic
Eating organic means buying expensive food that has an “organic” label on it. If you follow a Paleo diet and legitimately blame the vegetarians’ annoying holier-than-thou attitude, eating lots of meat is expensive too, and caring a lot about your food is typically Bobo. Bonus points if you eat goji berries on a regular basis.
7. You inhabit an “artsy” world
A world of art exhibitions featuring abstract paintings and pompous comments over glasses of champagne.
8. You are an atheist
And you believe that ancient history is made of “myths,” that everything can be boiled down to “human” and physical causes, that Christopher Hitchens or Richard Dawkins deserve public recognition. -- Return of Kings

Your Say

Irrational pigeon holes.

Liberalism = emotions
Conservatism = logic

All humans consist of a ratio of both emotion and logic. It is the degree of the ratio that determines whether one is a liberal or a conservative.

To be clear, which takes precedence in your life, emotions or logic?

If you live mostly in the world of feelings, you are a liberal. If you live in the world of careful thought you are a conservative.

Today, with all the information instantly available, if you still go ahead and try to pursue a liberal arts degree it's a pretty sure guess that you live in an emotion based existence and this will shine through in everything you do.

Thought for the day:
"None are more conservative than the liberal concerned with his own affairs. None are more liberal than the conservative concerned with the affairs of others."

I am a suburbanite. It would be very difficult for me to follow a paleo diet.

First, the megafauna of the end of the ice age are not around nor in Kroger's freezer.*

Second, I am sure my neighbor will object if I kill his Peke with a stone-tipped spear, trim it, and put it on the BBQ.

Third...I think you know where this is going. Living off of the land is so attractive until you see Kroger.

*This may or may not be accurate in the next decade.

I have an upper middle class up-bringing, I have a post-bachelor's degree.

Of that list I only said yes to three - maybe four if I stretched it.

That means I might be...semi-competent with few pretensions?

Three post-grad degrees here, and I didn't get a single yes. Of course at 85, my heyday was long before most of the crap on that list came along.
