I like your thoughts, Tim! It gives me something to think about and research some more. Your assumption that I don't care for either party, is pretty well correct. Both parties have lots of failings, most of which are born from some sort of Jesus complex and greed, (which in itself would maybe be an oxymoron). I think the party affiliation is a very limiting factor and reduces individual innovations. I suppose at some point we either have to have permission to live on the Kings land or be in constant feuds with neighboring tribes. I guess we just live until we die.
