What frightens me is not that such a thoughtful and literate a group of human beans as this can't agree on clear definitions of these terms, as much as by the fact that so many people will cast their vote (and their lot) without thinking twice for or against people simply because they have one of these labels plastered to them by friends and/or foes.

Me? Like the late great Jimmie Rodgers "I wear my name (and political affiliation) on the tail of my shirt. . ."
