:: Order, you still haven't provided an alternative definition of a liberal quotient for a group. The only sensible definition using a scale between 0 and infinity is the ratio of liberals to conservatives. If you're giving me such grief over such an obvious and simple definition, then I hate to think how you would have objected to [[Lord Kelvin]]!--[[User:Aschlafly|Aschlafly]] 00:43, 1 April 2007 (EDT)

You requirement that it has to map from zero to infinity is kind of arbitrary, because you can map any function over an infinite domain to the [zero,infinity] domain. Basic math.
My alternative definition for populations is either:
* '''Liberals/Population''', the obvious choice. Ranges from 0 to 1. Choose an suitable transformation, such as x-> tan(x*pi/2) if you want it to range from over [zero,infinity].
* '''Liberals/(Population-Liberal)''', the second obvious choice. Maps naturally from zero to infinity.
* Funny, your idea that moderates do not matter. So if you have in a group only 99 moderates, and one Liberal, it would be as Liberal, as if it had 100 Liberals, and no moderates?
* Why don't you respond to the fact that your definition of liberal bias in Wikipedia is based on quick sand? Or thin air.
* And I did tell you what my definition of liberal bias in a population is. Twice. In this section, called '''Ratio (again)''' , you'll find two itemized lists (lists with bullet points). And the last item in both lists tells you to take the percentage of liberals (which is equal to Liberal/Population). You said now for the second time that nobody gave you an alternative definition. I assume that you are smart guy, so tell me why you didn't see it? And could you for a change start answering question, rather than evade them.[[User:Order]]
