Is this something like George Carlin's law of driving?  Everyone going slower 
than you is an idiot and everyone going faster than you is a maniac.

Is everyone to the political left of me a "damn liberal" and everyone to the 
right a "stinkin' conservative"?  I like to think I am agnostic, I like it 
when people are involved.  Like the humbug, I am comfortable on either side of 
an argument.  (Although I am a true moderate ;) )
