Dear Santosh, Although I agree with you in the main, I think the distinction between the "viewpoint" and the "person" who holds that viewpoint is a blurred and tenuous one. If one holds a certain belief, I think we extrapolate that the person acts in a certain manner consistent with the view he/she holds. As John Mill said "Conservatives are not necessarily stupid but most stupid people are conservative". :))
