[quote name='mykevermin']pishposh. I don't want you to "convert to my side" so much as I wish, rather, for you to be informed of your opinions. Because the former will stem from a growth of the latter.

I have had nothing but time, for a few months, to spend studying patterns in world and country change. Reading tons and tons of material from all over the web. Reading opinions, studies, research, etc.... It's all I've had to do so I'm pretty confident in my opinion, no matter how much you want to belittle it.
Against better judgment, I'll try to explain as simple as I can:
I no longer believe in the "left vs right" bullshit crammed down our throats by everyone and their dog today. It's far more relevant to see a spectrum where total government control is on one side and total anarchy is on the other. I now believe our founding fathers tried their darndest to create a government as close to the "total anarchy" side as possible without risking total battle royale chaos.
It's become obvious to me, that over time, we have slid down the spectrum towards the "total government control". I don't think anyone would argue against that being the case, the arguments center around "should we" and "should we have" - which now, for some reason, manifest themselves as the whole right vs left thing.
One thing that is crystal clear to me now, is that both the "right" and "left" in this country, for the most part, side more with the "total government control" side of the spectrum, but just in different ways and for different reasons.
So much of my new belief structure and philosophies are stemming from this realization, and also realizing that, at heart, I'm really a couple notches left of "total anarchist" -- as I believe freedom and liberty overrides even saftey and oversight, in many cases.
