Well Lane - I acknowledged both sides of the spectrum. Perhaps others can give their examples. When I get time I will do the mirror image. For now I am off to tour Gettysburg! Bob

Lane, "Your essay would have been stronger had you given examples from both sides rather than attributing the categories to both sides but giving examples from only one." The examples of the right wing characteristics that quickly come to mind are as follows: Looney - anyone who believes that the market can handle medical costs. It is simply not possible due to the advent of costly technologies and the overall complexity of medical supply. Some serious change is necessary. Another one is guns - I see absolutely no need for automatic weapons for instance. Hate - well - while it hard for me to admit certain groups belong to the right - as they are clearly wrong - the hate groups that come to mind are those who are racially or religiously bigoted.
