80. Chirality - love it!
In pharmacology, there is typically one enantiomer that is more effective with fewer adverse effects, interestingly termed by which direction they rotate polarized light to the left or right (either levorotary or dextrorotary). I'd like to think that we're the more effective, less harmful enantiomers.

The one thing I think that truly sets us apart is self-awareness. I for one cannot blindly repeat rhetoric as gospel truth. When I don't understand all the varibles involved in a complex problem, I make a point to gather as much information as possible before I engage in any heated discussions. Furthermore, the anti-intellectualism embraced by freepers only weakens their collective position. I've met some very bright conservatives, and they don't even come close to being freepers.
