I've been an advocate of liberal values since I left high school and became aware of the gross inequities caused by selfishness and greed. I am a "liberal/progressive" for the same reasons I suspect the rest of you are--an unshakable belief in the inherent goodness of mankind and an unwavering determination to make the world a better place for everyone in it. And, an understanding that following the "Golden Rule" is the only way to realize my goal.
