for me, that bucket fits nicely ;>
most folks have a poor understanding of the Left/Right continuum anyway. Nolan and Pournelle (both very smart guys otherwise, made it more confusing instead of clarifying); it should solely be a measure of the level of State control in a government
Absolute Right = Anarchy (Liberty)
Absolute Left = Communism (Statism)
Leftism requires State control because I am not sharing my hard work with people unless I decide to. Economic control over others is necessarily State control.
I think I would be sh*tting on your post if I continued any further down this line, and that's not my intent.
So I'll just say nice post again ;>
{Edit: oops, you aint OP LOL. I do like your statement re: the Bill of Rights and the Consitution, and I still dont want to get off OP's track]
