- Interesting...I've found it to be the other way around, spotting most fen as
- fairly conservative in their politics. (Although there was an almost universal
- revulsion at having Bush re-elected among fen I spoke to.)

- On the whole, I bet you'll find fen across the spectrum, with a fair number
- popping around the middle (such as Yours Truly), with some "conservative" and some
- "liberal" views.
