I've gone a long time trying to decide whether I'm a conservative or a liberal. I've finally decided that both terms are far too limiting. I laugh to think that the liberals take so much pride in "thinking for themselves," when they're really just as blinded by their prejudices as the conservatives. If you're going to label yourself, why don't you choose something lasting and eternal, rather than a stunted political system with fallacious ideals. Liberals, conservatives, feminists, non-conformists, etc., are often just simple-minded people with an inflated sense of they're own importance. Osama bin Laden is a conservative and Vladimir Lenin was a liberal: Which one do you want to be classified with?
