Social Liberalism
Social Liberalism aka I don’t want to be responsible for my actions.
My boss is an extreme liberal. He will proudly tell you that the political line to him is a dot. So working with him I get a daily dose of liberalism, especially with today’s economy its pretty hard not to talk about the economy and politics. He is a guy that is so far left, that Hilary’s free socialize health care plan looks red to him. He wants the government to control everything, where you don’t have to take any responsibility yourself.
Here how things should work in his perfect world:
If you decided to use a hair dryer in the shower, that the hair dryer should automatically turn off enable to prevent you from electrocuting yourself.
If you had too much to drink, your car shouldn’t start.
Coffee machines should not be able to make coffee hot enough to burn (even if you intentionally pour the coffee on yourself).
Firearms should be able to check the target prior to firing.
After the government has paid all your bills, your given what is left of your paycheck.

He says that security is not his job, and that the building has hired security (This hired security is 2-3 people that control the front desk in a lobby of a 8 story building). How 2-3 people can monitor every valuable possession in an 8 story building, with approx. 1000 employees is a wonder. In his opinion, it’s not his problem that security is under staffed. Even after this incident, he still refuses to secure his daily work notebook that is in his cubicle, less than 7 feet from where that last notebook was stolen. Today he is out, and the notebook is there sitting on his desk completely unsecure (not to mention logged into the domain and sitting at the desktop)…
