To the best of my recollection, I've never registered with a political party or voted in a party primary. The idea of trying to condense the broad spectrum of opinions about the issues with which we as citizens must be concerned down to a handful of mutually antagonistic ideological platforms strikes me as one of the great absudities of American culture. Moreover, I consider framing all concepts as a duality (e.g., liberal vs. conservative, good vs. evil, communism vs. capitalism, etc.), which the untrained bicameral mind naturally does as a matter of course, to be one of the hallmarks of lazy thinking.
