Quote:I see by your sarcasm that you are a fan of the standing false dichotomy. Good to know.
Was that merely a Freudian slip, or were you being sloppy?
I'm sure I'm going to regret responding to yet another belligerent, words-in-my-mouth taunt, but here goes.
"Right" and "left" are not well defined, nor do they form a useful spectrum. However, they have at least come to vaguely imply a pair of culturally driven political alliances. The terms are not useless, however nebulous they might be.
The "third way" doesn't even make it to that feeble standard. There is no coherent idea behind it at all. It is a cynical branding exercise, and its adherents tend to be about as slippery and vague as good Mr. Clinton was.
