john will want to wrap up. do we have time for one more question? ok, one more question from the audience. how about steve brooks? this better be good. ago, john waseeks here promoting his research that he spent doing on the younger generation. in response to a question about politics, he said that he thinks the liberal conservative dimension is going to diminish and be replaced by a communitarian division. especially for the three circle guys. do you think that the tea party has met on that kind of movement? they will be a libertarian movement and the traditionalists left behind? i think that where that becomes problematic is that there is no one thing called liberty. there is no one thing called morality. the two concepts work with one another. we redefine what it means to be a democrat or a republican. but the idea that we understand what liberty is, what would bertie be to get a good meal at night? would it be to carry a gun? we redefine those things. students, they sort themselves by party pretty well. anyone else? ok. >> we need to do two things. one is, thank stephanie and our panel.
