Isn't English funny? That little slipping in of the word "other" modifies the
the sentence to mean you associate left-wing views etc. with ridiculous 
positions.  You didn't mean that (but it's no less amusing!)

another topic for lengthy flame/discussion wars. Really. As if the (economic)
activism of other's labour and intellectual property doesn't filter down 
and cause change in society (ie jobs, prosperity). But maybe changing the 
word "chairman" to "chair" will have the same effect. (NOT!)
