Rather obviously if you believe, correct or not, that someone is stealing your properly, you're not going to seek out districts infested with liberals who believe that property is theft. They're also more likely to respect the rule of law embodied in our Constitution, which of course has an intellectual property clause.

As for "largely non-technological", at this level I think pretty much every district is going to be the same, especially after each side rejects any domain experts or thereabouts that might be in the pool.



I think that assuming most liberals believe "Property is theft" is a little extreme.

That is a statement/sentiment I have only heard from people who self identify as anarchists.


It's a little extreme indeed---I mean, it was a rhetorical flourish, something hopefully signaled with the weighted "infested"---but I've heard it from non-anarchists and not extremely radical friends in times past. And look at how many on this site deny the legitimacy of intellectual property.

But perhaps my wording wasn't clear: I meant to limit it to "liberals" who are of the "property is theft" persuasion, or at least fairly strong in that direction.
