The most intelligent (I'd argue, possibly only intelligent, definitely the most objective) left-leaning poster on this forum is
Will Hunting , & I'm sure he'd agree with me on all of those points.
IMO me,
Mark Celibate / bump, and will hunting/dok, would make a great three way political radio talk podcast... obviously dok would represent the pragmatic left, i'd represent the pragmatic right, and bump would represent the center who has different opinions on different topics and is more libertarian than anything.
