Dear o sung wu,

Superior? Interesting term.

It is obviously more part of you vocabulary having been in both the army and the police force. I on the other hand have worked for myself for most of my working life so haven't had the pleasure of having a 'Superior' as such. I have never had a heavy sanction for non-compliance or disobedience hanging over my head as you would have had.

Did you have superiors who you didn't feel were superior to you?

In the army the notion of 'superior forces' wasn't just down to manpower was it. It was training, effectiveness, weaponry etc. An army may well field half the soldiers but still be regarded as 'superior'.

You wrote;

“But a few of us have to speak up, in order a target may be placed squarely on their backs in order the far left have a point of aim and point of impact.”

Well I have gone through the posters to this thread and made a determination on how I think you would label them, right on left. Mind you I would list them differently but this is all about you.

I've ended up with Toni Lavis, Foxy, Aidan, rache, Paul1405, Belly and myself whom i think you would regard as 'left'.

For those on the right I have Josephus, Is Mise, Hasbeen, individual, Shockadelic, Armchair Critic, runner, diver dan, ttbn, mhaze, Canem Malum, Shadow Minister and yourself.

I'm not sure about Yuyutsu though.

So the count is 7 on the left and 13 on the right.

Yet you are feeling under siege, just a few of you, having a target on your back.

I guess by your words you have conceded our superiority. What do you think?

Yuyutsu is a libertarian, spirit level.

Answer-

Left Right is a fairly simplistic one dimensional measure. Also as you surmised it is also relative.

To get a better understanding need to consider a multi-variate analysis.

Conservative vs Progressive (Static vs Change)
Economics vs Social
Authoritarian vs Anti-Authoritarian

I'm sure that there could be many other considerations given the complex nature of people and the world.

Anyway I liked some of your points SteeleRedux- Thank you for your contribution. From my point of view perhaps there is only one or two contributors that are "hard left" most are in the middle. That doesn't mean they wouldn't vote left.

Hi Steele,

Putting it simply, the 'R' group see it as "What's mine is mine, and I ain't going to share it!", the 'L' group see it as "What's yours is mine, and we are going to share it!" If that's the case then the "R" group are correct in seeing themselves as targets.

Here's something to ponder, many years ago I asked a leading commo union official, over a beer or three. "Why are you a Communists?" I thought his answer was rather incisive, even if he was half pissed at the time. "Well son, Communists are full of BS, and they know it. Capitalists are full of BS, but they don't know it. better to know, than not to know!"

Hi there STEELEREDUX...

The day I'd ever feel under siege from any of those among the 7 that you've named on your side, will be the day I'll finally pass through the door of God's waiting room. In fact I find Toni LAVIS , RACHE; AIDAN; yourself and BELLY though of the Left, nevertheless quite balanced. In fact I have a great deal of respect for BELLY and what he stands for. Much could be learnt from BELLY's 'life experience' style of philosophy, some of which I'll admit to learning from almost every day.

You include me as being part of 'the Right', nothing could be further from the truth? In fact I'm so far to the right, even more so than Genghis KAHN and all the little KHANS?

You asked '...Did I have 'superiors that I didn't think were superior to me...'? Depends on what context you mean? Superior rank in either the military of police is just as it's defined, 'superior'. However if you were to mean, superior to me in intellect...ah thats easy quite...all the time.

Steady there CANEM MALUM, go easy on old Steele - please don't confuse him. As he's admitted, he only has one dimensional thinking. Be that as it may - The one nauseating flaw a man can never have in his character - Well Steele you know precisely what that is ? A fundamental flaw you'll never have invading your character my friend, nor any other contributor on The Forum either - except for one!

What we can expect. Are we to accept this?
