Left OR Right?

This whole left v right thing really pisses me off.

There's either capitalism or socialism, right or left, black or white, you're either with us or against us, good or evil, rich or poor, winner or loser, is the glass half-empty or half-full?

And woe betide those of you who can't make up your minds, those of you who sit on the fence, in the middle.

Well I agree with some of the "left" and with some of the "right" but why must my personal, political or social thinking and behaviour be in one camp or another? If I get to a T-junction in my car then fine, I must choose to drive left or right. But at a cross-roads I can go ahead.

Isn't the ability to take all this onboard and make balanced decisions what makes us wholesome and rounded individuals and societies? Whose idea is it to try and keep us from that? Why do people want to railroad us into these limited choices? Assholes.
