    The Democratic Party who handed "For Profit" insurance a straight up windfall with the ACA is not "Center-Right"?

    Please, tell me more about how this works.

    What "center" policies does the GOP have that you like?
    Why do you assume I'm talking about parties?

    I'm talking about people with no tolerance for any position but their own, from each end of the spectrum.
    • Those who respond to opinions on the dangers of easy access to high-cyclic rate weapons with accusations of wanting to destroy the 2nd Amendment and lay Americans bare to oppression
    • Those who respond to opinions that abortion might not be the best form of birth control with accusations of wanting to Handmaiden all women
    • Those who respond to opinions that income inequality is unhealthy with accusations of godless communism
    • Those who respond to opinions that sustainability also requires avoiding wrecking whole economies with accusations of stupidity, or being a capitalist tool


    Or people who make assumptions and use inflammatory language about where one stands on an issue because it might not be with them, like this...

    We're letting screamers own the debate instead of actually working problems, and it happens on both sides.

    My point was both sides of the political aisle think they're (the always moving) center, when neither one is. If either one was, they would consistently win the presidency and both houses of Congress by landslide amounts (unless we had a strong third party to muck up things ).

    Unless, Most Of Us (ignorantly) don't care until after the consequences manifest. Voting patterns support that.

    True, which is why I said above that the center moves.

    Megadeth and Death are both quite underrated bands.

    Really? I would agree with you on Death there but Megadeth have always been a highly rated Metal band, one of the Big 4 of Thrash Metal and all that. Peace Sells.... and Rust In Peace are still acclaimed albums to this day.

    Both are fabulous acts. Funnily enough I was only listening to Death's seminal Human album a few weeks ago. Great record. I would say that Death Metal's overall niche status as a genre probably accounts for Death's lack of mainstream awareness and under-appreciation but they are still highly regarded in Metal circles.

    Speaking of bands and their critical standing though, I will say that I consider The Clash to be extremely OVER rated.

    I'm sure that's somewhat controversial in certain circles. I just don't get what the hoopla is surrounding the group though.

    What does "centre" mean though? The democrats are probably right of what would be considered "centre" here in the UK.
