I lean left, although I'm with you, geezer, in that I consider myself to be a moderate.
Tez, what's funny is that I know many Americans who would label not just you, but most of Europe as left wing socialists!![Smile :) :)](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
My opinion is that leftists are, by their nature, more accepting of dissenting opinions. Not the whackjobs, but the much larger body of left leaning moderates. maybe I'm projecting my own opinions upon the larger group, but I honestly avoid what I consider all but the most egregious statements here and elsewhere because I fundamentally respect your right to an opinion even if I disagree with it. I'm also, quite frankly, tired of the endless, circular nature of the debate. I was all for a heated discussion early in the Bush administration, but after 8 years of it, I've lost my taste for it.
