Not sure why I am bothering to respond, but ok.
I tend to be pretty central in that I agree with some aspects (different ones) from each side. I mainly tend towards concepts of personal liberty and equality (for all spectrums), but I guess that is why I am studying to be a Clinical Social Worker. I am doing my masters right now in fact in it at a very liberal arts college. It is considered to be the top CSW program in North America, if not the world.
As a result of my all over the map leanings, I have had most labels thrown at me (particularly as a moderator, where I try very hard to be neutral and not let my own personal feelings on an issue cloud my judgement). I feel I am doing a good job if both sides think I am taking the other side's position at the same time. I also believe very much in honest debate and encourage it when ever possible (even if I completely disagree).
Anyhow I am not going to close the thread, or ban you (yet). But I would encourage you to pick a new mode of behavior (and stop with the hit and runs). The irony as I see it is that you have actually earned the general dislike of both camps here including the one you seem to claim allegiance to.
Me I claim allegiance to no side. I can think for myself unaided.
