The universe never did make sense; I suspect it was built on government contract.

Political tags - such as royalist, communist, democrat, populist, fascist, liberal, conservative, and so forth - are never basic criteria. The human race divides politically into those who want people to be controlled and those who have no such desire.

Being right too soon is socially unacceptable.

I do think a healthy opposition is very necessary in a democracy.
