I'm finding the whole blue = liberals, red = conservatives thing confusing myself. Surely blue = conservative and yellow = liberals?

Once upon a time, conservatives (Republicans) were Blue and Democrats (Liberals) were Red, but one day the democrats woke up and realized oooh, gosh ... Red = Commies??? We gotta switch colors. And that's how we started talking about Conservative Red States vs. Liberal Blue States in the 2000 Election.

I see wolf is the purest of you all.
She's the lone bright star in a sky of degenerates.

Apparently hobo killin' is not considered a particularly pure act. Hmmph. Why should I conform to society's conventions?

The reference to Yellow for liberals, is because the Liberal Democratic Party have yellow as their party colour.

I'm in deep. lol. have watched all 3 series and am now listening to the audiobook Darkly Dreaming Dexter. I usually prefer to read novels. But I've found they're a great way to persuade myself to go to bed :P Listening to an audiobook whilst getting ready for bed and then turning off the light, so just the screen of my laptop shows...nice.
