    Political tags - such as royalist, communist, democrat, populist,
    fascist, liberal, conservative, and so forth - are never basic
    criteria.  The human race divides politically into those who
    want people to be controlled and those who have no such desire.
    The former are idealists acting from highest motives for the
    greatest good of the greatest number.  The latter are surly
    curmudgeons, suspicious and lacking in altruism.  But they
    are more comfortable neighbors than the other sort.
