Pretty much both sides of the spectrum look pretty grim.

I used to be a hard-ass liberal, but now I've changed my outlook, matured a bit, and become a libertarian.

Their philosophy makes the most sense, but no one seems to listen.

Demosthenes and Locke are the only voices allowed... and you must rabidly adhere to one or the other. Ah, Ender, didn't you know?
