Yep, that's where I'd want to stake my claim -- the middle, right there with the folks who make
American Idol so popular. Ever heard me make many arguments in favor of the intelligence or character of the average American?
I didn't think so.

Be committed to something. Hell, be committed to anything other than mediocrity, surrender, appeasement of your enemies. Honestly Axxon, those that aren't are pretty easily dismissed & not worthy of a great deal of respect. They've already shown either a lack of principles or a willingness to bend whatever weak principles they have. They're easy enough to go around or through when the need arises.
