    Well, I can't really see a way to rate anything above being a Christian:

    Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away.
    -Mt 24:35

    The time will come when I won't be white, male, Floridian, American, a physician, a conservative, or (maybe) even human anymore. Age is thoroughly impermanent.

    I'm on the side of the humans, but so many others aren't, I don't know how much difference that makes.

    The answer is usually based on the context of the conversation.

    Ditto Daniel. "Identity" seldom occurs to me.

    Whatever.

    You apparently have taken one part of my political beliefs and, therefore, have placed me far left--and even that one belief of mine that you DESPISE is not an extreme belief of mine. It's just not the case. I have this lovely thing called pragmatism that prevents me from being extreme on the whole political spectrum, or even on specific political issues.

    I know that you don't comprehend either "moderate" or "common sense" or "middle of the road."

    I could list all the areas, and anyone with that whole mystical "common sense" can see that I'm nowhere NEAR the extreme left--especially on wedge issues, "big government," and the criminal system.
