<<I am a consummate cynic politically .... politics ? IT'S ALL CRAP... don't delude yourself..:O)>. We did not make the long walk to civilization until we figured out Republics/Democracy. In the US labels are very very very important because it makes the difference between people needlessly suffering or not suffering. E.g. before the 1964 civil rights act we had segregation in this country. If you want to know how bad it was just rent the movie "The Help" and see how much suffering there was. Every single liberal voted for the 1964 civil rights act and I think, every single conservative voted against it. Labels! Today we do not have universal health care or affordable education and one party is trying to get rid of what we have. The liberals would cut defense and raise taxes on the rich and implement universal health care and affordable education. And the votes in this country, for and against, pretty much follow party lines. Labels dude. Nice to see you again. Hope all is well.
