I guess that I’m a centrist now

My friends in party X assume that I’ll agree with them that the adherents of party Y are credulous buffoons because they follow the—presumably evil—leadership of party Y. It would be easier for me to do so if I’d not seen that party X’s membership is just as credulous. Years ago, I’d never have thought of myself as a centrist, but it seems to me that most people are far from either party’s extreme position, and mostly want to be left alone. At any rate, I remain unimpressed with either party’s fanaticism.

I grew up in New England, did a short stint in the U.S. Navy after high school, worked in various factories, built & renovated houses, and finally moved to the Carolinas in 1998 to start working at what was then a large regional bank and is now a really big nationwide bank. I work doing SharePoint management site management. After work I make soap, knit, ride my motorcycle, read, watch movies & eat. I ride a Yamaha V-Star 1300. I am pretty sure that I want to hike the Appalachian Trail someday, or possibly do a long-distance rowing trip. I'll be retiring in a few years, and hope to run a craft soap-making business to bring in some cash.
