   I don't know the political leanings of the peers to whom I referred,   
   but it's likely they are across the board.

   It's not written into the laws, it's written into your mind via   
   stereotyping. The input into the stereotyping comes from your peers,   
   the media and other sources. If you are not in control of your mind,   
   you will find yourself echoing what you have been told. Which is what   
   you are doing.
