It probably says that you're someone whose family is well enough off to indulge your eccentricities, but still prepared to back you up if there's trouble.

This may or may not be the impression it gives, either way however this is entirely inacurate. It is rather amusing to look at your statementthat I am neither an out Lesbian nor a political protester, which is entirely accurate, however at the sdame time my mother is one, and my brother the other.

I did not grow up in a sheeltered well off midle class household which would tolerate my eccentricities, rather I grew up as the son of a single unemployed parent in one of the worst parts of South Birmingham. As a result I have had several run-ins with the police, and it has been my experience that whilst they may be incompetant and inefectual, they are rarely malicious. Far from picking people up on the street and persecuting them they stayed the hell away unless a major incident had occured, after which they rarely caught the people responsible.

Now, I am not in favour of police brutality and I certainly don't believe in punishment (actualy I don't believe in the concept of puinishment at all, but that is a matter for another time and place), but I feel that in the end the evils of increased government are far outweighed by the evils of innefective government.

As to the sugestion that my parents attitudes have formed mine, or that I will grow out of it... well, I was disagreeing with my Father's political views by the time I was eleven. To the extent that I insisted on attending a Grammar school, a concept which I firmly support, whilst my father as an old-style socialist is quite firmly against.
