And the craziest thing about it to me is how far from the real left, or real right for that matter, these people are. Everyone I've ever known on either extreme has been in great shape. Hippies going natural and growing their own shit on one side, people hunting and trying to go with local business on the other. You can't act like a tick and suck the polluted blood of the system until you're bursting and still retain any moral authority. To some extent pretty much anyone making a living in our culture is. But in the middle you're still diluting things. At the top, either position is one of pure hypocrisy.
