Iktomi; The center is drifting- and it is drifting left, imo. Go ahead and argue against that- but I'd like to know on what you might base Left? Have you been to Europe? Now that is left - socially. As to hippies - what have we gotten that they have proposed? Free love and drugs? Hardly. I think in just about every category the country has moved to the right. Sure can't argue that the country has moved to the right as far as the military machine and foreign intervention is concerned. Sure can't argue that the country has moved to the right as far as economic measures in this country are concerned. The rich are getting richer and there is less and less responsibility - less government over sight as the little man and the working man is screwed. The working man pays 30% on his wages while the flim flam man pays 15% on his wages. ......Socially: Hardly any improvement there as we are moving backwards on a womans right to choose. Gays; hardly any improvement there as witnessed by the Craig comment. I am not gay, i am not gay! Drugs; hardly as witnessed by our prison populations. Freedom of religion; hardly as the Christian fundamentalist movement is as strong as every. Science; we are doing nothing on global warming - nothing other than talk. On evolution vrs creationism - our friends in Europe are laughing at our belief in ID. Gun control; not even an issue anymore, when was the last time you heard anyone talk about that? Most of our important environmental laws were made under Nixon and his administration, they are constantly being chipped away at. Now, where do you see any meaningful movement to the left? Hillary is more centrist than perhaps any democrat in recent years. The center is not moving left it is moving right! I look forward to your comments. steve
