You can tell by reading posts on this site. This is a philosophical difference and does not always change with age, although the young are usually more liberal and the older are more conservative. Hooray for maturity and experience!
Is it possible that all thought is generated from the initial neural mass one inherits and even though influenced by the environment is still filtered through those genetically contolled neurons?

I agree it is quite easy to tell who is conservative and who is liberal, a conservative is some who longs to be told what to think, told how to think, told how to behave, and told what is right and what is wrong. A liberal is someone who can not only think for himself and decide his own behavior he can also allow others to think and behave differently without fearing them and without wanting to make them conform to the "correct" way of thinking and behaving. Sadly, it's more difficult to be a liberal because the conservatives are always trying to make you think and behave as they do.
