Now, can someone define "left wing" and "right wing"? I think there's a bit of confusion here - or maybe I'm the one confused.
Wait a sec, dinner! Be back in bout half an hour or so.

Not really a definition but more a visualization
Left wing: tends towards social liberty, help to the people that suffer, freedom, civil rights, etc... (socialism, true communism (marxism)...)
Right wing: primacy of power, military action, sets aside human rights, primacy of self interests, etc... (military dictarorship, nazis, fachists,...
So, here's an exemple: "7,000 innocent Americans died because of terrorist attack. Those attack against the US were totally unwaranted and America will stand strong." (left because of innocent, totally unwaranted)
"7,000 American died in terrorist attack" (neutral... centered, just the fact)
America to use military power to kill Bin Ladden in responce of terrorist attack that killed 7,000 in NYC. (right because it supports military action and to kill Bin Ladden)
Of course, those exemples are fictitious but they do point out the difference between the Left and Right

If I am because I think, then, if I talk without thinking, I'm not really talking! Am I?
