Because the political labels of ...
"Left" and "Right"
"Liberal" and "Conservative"
"Laissez Faire" and "Socialist"
"Anarchist" and "Fascist"
"Communist" and "Capitalist"
"Secular" and "Religious"
have been purposefully convoluted by those whose greed, hubris, and lust for power led them to exploit the language of deceit, sophistry.
.
I will use the "Hurley Scale" in future essays, to analyze and measure:
policies, enacted and advocated
the politicians who assert and enact them
cultural trends that reflect and inspire them
and technology's dual impacts on
the size and scope of an Individual's prerogative in the 21st Century.
