Well, I can't really see a way to rate anything above being a Christian: Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away. -Mt 24:35 The time will come when I won't be white, male, Floridian, American, a physician, a conservative, or (maybe) even human anymore. Age is thoroughly impermanent. I'm on the side of the humans, but so many others aren't, I don't know how much difference that makes.

You apparently have taken one part of my political beliefs and, therefore, have placed me far left--and even that one belief of mine that you DESPISE is not an extreme belief of mine. It's just not the case. I have this lovely thing called pragmatism that prevents me from being extreme on the whole political spectrum, or even on specific political issues. I know that you don't comprehend either "moderate" or "common sense" or "middle of the road." I could list all the areas, and anyone with that whole mystical "common sense" can see that I'm nowhere NEAR the extreme left--especially on wedge issues, "big government," and the criminal system.
