It is, very liberal.

I am NOT a conservative... best quote on American conservatism, in part, from Robert Lewis Dabney:

American conservatism is merely the shadow that follows Radicalism as it moves forward towards perdition. It remains behind it, but never retards it, and always advances near its leader. . . . Its impotency is not hard, indeed, to explain. It is worthless because it is the conservatism of expediency only, and not of sturdy principle. It intends to risk nothing serious for the sake of the truth, and has no idea of being guilty of the folly of martyrdom. It always when about to enter a protest very blandly informs the wild beast whose path it essays to stop, that its “bark is worse than its bite,” and that it only means to save its manners by enacting its decent role of resistance: The only practical purpose which it now serves in American politics is to give enough exercise to Radicalism to keep it “in wind,” and to prevent its becoming pursy and lazy, from having nothing to whip.

I wanted to go to UNCC too lol, my grades weren't high enough for an out of stater tho. I don't really like the state system too much tbh, if someone from NYC wants to study im San Diego or Miami, they should be able to

I have now kind of decided not to go to my sisters wedding after speaking to my Mum on the phone...
The posh hotel in Dorset where the wedding is taking place has no relevance to my sister or her fiance & I asked my Mum why they were getting married so far away from Portsmouth where my sister is from (& even further away from where she now lives, near Guildford). Her fiance said it wasn't fair that only his family had to travel far to the wedding (they all live in Ireland) so us lot should have to travel too! Not only that but my Mum & younger sister are having to get to the hotel 2 days before the wedding as my sister (as well as 3 of my nieces) are going to be bridesmaids & need to be there for the wedding rehearsal. My Mum told me that rooms at the hotel in July are over £300 a NIGHT! And they expect me to stay there too, plus pay probably around £400 for a return flight & pay for trains/taxis to/from the airport as no one will be available to pick me up & I won't be able to stay at my Mum's as she won't be there & I have no way of getting to Dorset either! The final kick in the teeth is that my sister always told me she wanted me to give her away at her wedding (as our Dad passed away some years ago), but now no mention of that at all, only that my sister & nieces are to be bridesmaids
