My teen son and I were talking the other night, about the political spectrum and supposed dichotomy of left and right.
His observation: (and to be honest, I don't know whether this is his original thought, or if he heard it from someone else, but I like to think he is brilliant!)
When you get to the far right, you are a survivalist who wants to live in a good protected community, grow your own organic food free from dangerous chemicals, store it for future use, build your own dwellings, use your supplies wisely in order to nurture and provide for your family and friends.
When you get to the far left, you are a hippie who wants to live in a good protective community, grow your own organic food free from dangerous chemicals, store it for future use, build your own dwellings, use your supplies wisely in order to nurture and provide for your family and friends.
The differences? The ones on the right are more likely to own firearms for protection. The ones on the left are more likely to grow certain plants in their gardens. If you are "mellowed out" you can't shoot straight anyway, nor do you care if others are stealing your stuff.
