Thread Name: BS: Labels
Subject: RE: BS: Labels
Labels are quite handy - the mistake comes in thinking, when it comes to people that any one label necessarily excludes others. That especially goes when we remove the capital letters. No reason, for example, whatsoever why someone can't be a liberal conservative republican democrat. In fact I suspect that's probably a pretty common combination.

Lots of labels which seem might exclusive actually aren't. For example it's quite possible for someone to be a Jewish Moslem.
