The nation is moving toward more liberal attitudes on almost every moral issue.

And on no moral issue is there a substantive swing to the right.

That’s the conclusion of a Gallup poll released May 11, a wide-ranging study that asked about thoughts on 19 issues ranging from gay and lesbian lifestyles to divorce — and even quizzed participants about cloning animals.

On almost every key matter of conscience except abortion, Americans said they are more likely to accept liberal values than they were just a generation ago.

But here’s a shock: There is compelling anecdotal evidence that Kootenai County is headed in that same direction, though perhaps more slowly.

Surprising as it might be, that was the opinion of three experts in human and societal behavior interviewed at length by The Press/Steve Cameron, Coeur d'Alene Press. More here.

Question: Do you think Kootenai County is moderal to liberal when it comes to moral matters?
