I have always liked Rob Lowe. I think he is a good actor and seems to be a good guy. I can never remember whether Mr. Lowe or Tom Cruise are from Dayton, Ohio which is basically where I grew up. Even if Mr Cruise is from Dayton I still don't like him much. But I am rambling.
I like Rob Lowe even better now than I did a couple of days ago. I saw his interview with Bill O'Reilly and I enjoyed it. I did more than just enjoy the interview, however, I found a slightly different way to put perspective on something I have been thinking.
For some time now I have been thinking that liberals feel things through and conservatives think things through.
Mr Lowe stated that some thing a lot more eloquently that same thing and explained what he meant better than I could have.
Unfortunately, I did not write down what he said, but I will do the best I can to explain it. He made the statement as an answer to a question about why people in Hollywood has a liberal mindset. Mr Lowe explained that as actors they have to delve more into emotion as a way to prepare to play a character. And the skill and ability to do this made actors more empathetic towards others. And he stated that he felt that conservatives were more logical and tend to look at numbers and find the quickest solutions to problems.
I doubt Mr Lowe will ever read this I hope that I came reasonably close to his explanation. If I did not I apologize.
His explanation helped me view my thought differently. When I have had the thought that liberals think things through I have always thought of that in negative terms. But somehow thinking that is just a part of their thought processes puts things in a different light for me.
But it also makes me wonder if having different thought processes is any part of the political divide that is now in this country. And is this any part of why the divide is greater than it has been in my life time.
