This isn't a career, Art
It's an internet bulletin board. Unions have nothing to do with it. We come here because we want to and because we enjoy it. This is a place for people to exchange ideas and discuss various philosophies. I'm sorry if you're so closed minded (I get to use that on a Lib, lol), but the world is much broader than your left of center POV.
As for me being a moderate, many of my views are fairly moderate. Some of my views are far to the right. With you being a leftwinger on many issues, those views seem even more alien than to someone who's more of a centrist or right of center. Just as some of your views seem totally alien to me. Diversity is more than a one way street, remember that.
