RE: [OT] Personal hoody-hoo

Many Liberals in the wargaming community (though not me!).  Jack Radey
(Peoples 
Wargames), Frank Chadwick (GDW) just to drop the names of some I've met.
 I 
think a lot of it had to do with the fact that most of them were in
college (or 
at least Berkeley) in the '60s.  Wargaming has usually been the province
of the 
educated,  look at the demographics that SPI and Avalon Hill used to
publish.

It's a common misconception that liberals hate
wargaming as much as they enjoy cutting military
budgets down past the point where their nation's
military can't defend against a determined Girl Scout
troop with sticks (see: Canada, Most of Europe).

This is not true--I've gamed with political viewpoints
running that gamut from an actual card-carrying member
of CPUSA all the way to Ghengiz Khan's conservative
cousin (hi, Don!).

It's just 1:1 scale wargaming that liberals don't
like.
