Actually, my favorite is the one about warning labels: What things should have mandatory warning labels? CONS: - Movies, books, and records with lots of sex - Museums with sacrilegious works of art - The City of San Francisco LIBL: - Artificial sweeteners - Tobacco products - Genetically modified/polluted foods LBRT: - Books whose contents don't live up their provocative covers. COMM: - Books, movies, and songs that glorify individualism I LOVE the one about San Francisco!! Actually, the whole test made me chuckle.

Politics 1 for instance doesn't have a centrist section that links to organizations like the New America Foundation, centrist.org, or the Centrist Coalition.

Smart Independents (plus the more non-partisan of other ) comprise 30%+ of voters. would like to see a viable group of for inflluence. Please , let's hit the economy, trade, jobs issues Get it yet? This is a war on U.S. and American people had better get it and fast. Or are there too many yuppies and paper professionals now who have useless thinking? Yes, am a Smart Independent who thinks we have too many overpaid govt., univ. employees, and paper professionals who hemorrhaged the productive segments of the country. Fallacious econ theories and no one doing anything about it, but greedy living off and bleeding the country for years now. What worries the Smart Independents: Yuppies and paper professionals have any brains or self-discipline and sacrifice for country left --or just sawdust for brains, consumerism greedy spending, and soft princely lifestyle ...... left?
