Normally, I have been writing about business, but in this case I would like to share with you a different observation I have made.  Have you guys noticed that people who of one political ideology at home supports the opposite ideology here in Thailand.  I have several friends that are not just a little left of center back home, they are flaming liberals, but here they support the conservative/nationalistic ideology of the PAD and democrats here in Thailand.  Me on the other hand, back home I think that the only good liberal is a dead liberal, but here I support the red shirt movements, which not only have liberal tendencies but in some cases they are downright communist.  I don't see why things are so backwards here, but they are.  Let me get your opinions on this subject.
