&gt;This ridiculous polarised and incorrect caricature of &quot;left&quot; and &quot;right&quot; is not only ridiculous, but also damaging. You don&#x27;t even live in the US, so you&#x27;ve no excuse.<p>What in the world is this supposed to mean?  &quot;Left&quot; and &quot;right&quot; in the political sense isn&#x27;t an exclusively US concept.  In fact, this isn&#x27;t a US concept at all - it&#x27;s French.  And it doesn&#x27;t mean the same thing in the US as it does in most European countries.
