Cohousing-L Mailing List: Anonymous post from conservative cohouser?

[Fred H Olson (fholson]

When I first saw the "Celebrating Obama's victory" threads, my first
thought was whether this was "off topic".  ( Clearly creeping up to the
border but it's too late anyway. )  And the life in cohousing aspects
redeem it.  The recurring question about whether there are politically
conservative people in cohousing is even more noteworthy.

In my experience, majority opinions tend to inhibit other points of view.
It's often easier to be quite about differences rather than wade into
touchy discussions.  It may be that there are conservatives in cohousing
but they are reluctant to be vocal about it.

In light of this I offer to post comments from conservatives after
scrubbing any identifying information to make them anonymous and I pledge
to not reveal their identity.  Of course you'd need to trust me.  I have
done this on a few occasions on request in other situations.
To do this carefully send your message to me ( fholson [at] cohousing.org )
rather than to the list with a explanitory preamble which I will remove.

Note that if no one responds it will still be inconclusive.  Maybe
no one will feel comfortable with my offer.  Maybe there are no
conservatives who subscribe to cohousing-L even if there are conservatives
in cohousing.

 and checked his computer to see the outcome of our US Senate race here in
 MN (Al Franken / Norm Coleman).  It is going to a recount since they are
 separated by about 700 votes.
