   Actually the political spectrum is a circle, so if you swing too far to   
   either left or right you come back to where you started. In any case too far   
   right is every bit as evil as too far left. It does not require an Einstein   
   to realise that the right discriminates against the poorest and weakest in   
   the society where it operates and the extreme right carries this to the   
   extent that is starves people to death or leaves them to die for want life's   
   basics. The left discriminates against the very rich and, if taken to   
   extremes, it drives them away and they may well be the people who drive the   
   economy. Thus both extremes are evil in the extreme. The trouble is that the   
   exact centre falls between both fires and nothing ever gets done. Thus the   
   best is slightly left of centre with enough socialism to care for the poor,   
   sick and disabled without penalising the rich to the extent that they can   
   find pastures new that are better for them.
