When an American says left, they mean right. When they say right, they mean extremist right.

According to this system, I'm an extremist leftie because I believe people who have disabilities, are poor for some reason, old people, etc should receive healthcare and be taken care of by society at least at some basic level. In my book it's wrong to let old people, disabled people or other members of societies fall to their death without lifting a finger. People should have equal right to education and should be encouraged to work and prosper. It's also wrong to give corporations vital control over society, something they will always misuse.

I'm definitely swinging towards the left and getting further over there as I age. I used to love the death penalty, now I only sort of LIKE it.
