I'm finally responding to this comment ... GO ME! :D
I had a lot of fun writing this. Generally speaking, my experiences are similar to yours except in engineering/computer sciences -- universities do skew left (and the liberal arts departments, where I've spent most of my university-going time, skew *way* left) but the engineering-type sciences (where my husband is) seem to have more conservatives than the general run of the mill.
Actually, Atlantis's political makeup would probably be fascinating from a sociological perspective, since there are people from so many different nations and walks of life, most of whom have been out of the loop for several years. I wish the show had gone more into the social dynamics of Atlantis; I know that's not what it was about, but that was one of the things that drew me to it the strongest -- the idea of this little created society on the frontier.
