All things in balance.  All things in moderation.  Some very wise Chinese sage implied this many many years ago.  I've always believed the truth lay in the center of the extremes.  And that those who live in the middle aren't the wish-washy gooey center of the nation, but the strong silent majority of humanity. 

All things extreme fall off the sides eventually, fundamentalist conservatives will alienate the masses, hyper-progressive liberals will alienate themselves.  The left and right turn signals are loud and flashy, but it's the mass in the middle that carries the load, that is the driving force, that when moving forward straight and true won't even need the 'moral' blinkers of the left or right political turns. 

Temperance is moderation in the things that are good and total abstinence from the things that are foul.

This website is a living example of the First Amendment. I expect the free exercise of expressing my personal opinions and observations to be treated as a right protected by the Constitution of the United States. A constitution that I've on more than one occasion sworn to protect with my life. I will make a conscience effort to avoid slander and libel. I expect every aspect of my government to protect my right to express my opinion, no matter if sections of said government disagrees wholly or in part with my opinions.
