Well! There's so much of what you say rings bells with me. Several things that occur to me are slightly tangential and I need to get a lot of beer mats, so it will have to wait until tomorrow. But my repeated feeling as I read is that we're talking about the much the same things despite our self proclaimed labels. This suspicion sits lightly with my feeling that at the end of the world, when all is revealed, there'll be only one answer and everyone will feel vindicated!
