C2, some years ago I gave up on the labels left and right because the meanings were ambiguous, diffuse and more insult than information. To the right of me, I think of some of the newly converted Libertarians who are more like anarchists. But to me, "right" means individual freedom and "left" means state control. Mugabe,Mao and Stalin would therefore be extreme right wingers as would Adolf and others who think the state is preeminent and individuals are helpers for the great and glorious leaders/rulers. But to some people, right wingers are those in favour of an authoritarian state. "Fleecing" implies fraud and in my book fraud is criminal and requires punishment. There can be tooth and fang survival of the fittest with no fraud at all. I'm in favour of that. I'm not in favour of theft or fraud. Mqurice
