I thought he was brilliant and agreed with just about everything he said. He articulated what I have not been able to, about my problems with "the left."

This man seems to share my problem, and seems to be doing what I do: look at things case-by-case and cease identifying oneself with any Label. The terms "left" and "right" and "conservative" and "liberal" are only useful, in these days of a million shades of gray, in the broadest terms; and the broadest terms are not where I live or how I think and feel.

Excellent icon, by the way.
