Liberal is not the same as democrat, let me first make that distinction. In order to run a business at a profit you must conserve resources, so that is what I mean when I said liberal, I did not say democrat because I know many democrat business owners.
If you apply a liberal coat of stain you pour it on, but if you apply a conservative amount you might wipe it on with a damp rag. If you apply liberal techniques and attitudes towards your business finances your business will fail. This is what I am talking about. NOT about a democrat or republican, although what the guys at the trade show are complaining about is the fact that the magazine is beginning to take “sides” and they don’t like it. This magazine is about building houses and nothing else, politics will get in the way. I stated in my first comment that I am separating green from liberal.

Don't worry about the green naysayers, although there is a different between “green” and liberal, green just means a renewable energy saving slant on building practices, I AM NOT a liberal (I own my own business, it is hard to conceive of being a liberal and owning a business) but I do believe that “green” materials are the answer to many of our building issues. Just play up the money saving benefits of “green” materials instead of the usual environmental benefits, this plays into the hand of every consumer looking to purchase a house or remodel. Keep up the good work, and I’ve got your back.
