Can we skip the labels?

I reality, we probably can't. They serve a purpose as a sort of (woefully imperfect) shorthand.

But wouldn't it be wonderful?

What is a liberal?

Or a progressive?

A lefty?

A capitalist?

An anarchist? (well, that may still be operative).

A Green?

An activist?

Religious?

Secular?

Humanist?

Do any of those labels truly and effective convey a meaning? I'm sure some of you can define each one. I can't. I'd bet many people can't. And yet we use them to self-describe and to assess another.

I suspect that when your dog sniffs the neighbor dog's butt he learns more about that dog than you or I do when we accept a label as a way to define a person.

Maybe its time we actually made an effort to get know another person.

Now THOSE are cool labels.

Equally intuitive :)

That's what you are.
