I read that earlier, what a great week so far and we still have Friday to look forward to.
Socialism is a philosophy of failure, the creed of ignorance, and the gospel of envy.
Sir Winston Leonard Spencer Churchill (1874-1965)

You can understand capitalism when you realize that Thomas Edison improved the world more than Karl Marx

I think you mean the pendulum of taste. Like oil won't mix with water, the pendulum of reason never swings to the left.

I would describe the extreme left and right as unreasonable. To rely heavily on emotion or faith propels the pendulum of reason to the extreme.

I would describe the entire left (and a good portion of what is currently called the center, or center-right) as unreasonable, insofar as virtually all of their policy positions proceed from absurd assumptions about human motives and behavior.

The extreme right? That would be the center of 40 years ago, yes? Or are you talking Hitler? Give me some positions of the extreme right that you believe are grounded in emotion or faith, or are otherwise unreasonable, and I'll let you know if I concur.

The extreme right might include those using biblical scripture to describe the Haitian earth quake, are very faith based. The many white supremacy groups could be associated with the extreme right, are very passionate about there goals.
