That would be the conservative way of course, the lefties would keep
employing bell ringers but forget to train anyone to follow or invest in
the maintenance of the belfry.


Is there any correlation at all between people who like to hear
bells ringing and their political views?


I suppose them being religious things mainly they would be more the
thing of conservatives...


I would have thought it would appeal more to conservatives,
in both senses of the word.


Well I would tend to agree.

I have never heard recorded bells that sound anything like real bells.
