Amen to the below statement, Kevin!

>Truthfully, in the U.S., the political terms "liberal" and "conservative" have almost become pointless. They are two sides of the same coin, more than they are different. To paraphrase Robert Heinlein (this was such a prophetic observation of his), Americans are divided politically into those who want to be controlled in some manner (using mantras like "the public good", "the greatest good"), and those with no such desire who just want to be left the hell alone.
