The suggestion that some of Norwich’s homeless have made their own choice to live on the streets is often met with disbelief and derision. “Absolute rubbish” and a “bigoted horrible suggestion.” But the homeless I spoke to insisted the decision to sleep rough was largely made of their own volition.

Here's his TED talk on the moral roots of leftists and conservatives: http://www.ted.com/index.php/talks/jonathan_haidt_on_the_moral_mind.html

Short version, conservatives have five values while leftists have only one.

Ha, should be good for a laugh. yes morals are certainly lacking with that crowd. And any sense of reality too. I remember seeing a vid of SJW women protesting for the rights of muslim men, an immigration thing, and of course they would be all staunch feminists. Rabid feminists protesting for the acceptance of a culture that denigrates and enslaves women, talk about cognitive dissonance.

Not sure where it is, but there was a follow up that confirmed this and also looked at the libertarian views- who also seemed to have only one axis, that of freedom.
