What this is about for me.

The Outline for a Manifesto of a Centrist. The following questions are purely in the form of a rough draft; some inquiries might be replaced by new ones, or integrated into a finer concept.

1)-What is a Centrist/What is Centrism?
2) Why is Centrism important?
3) What issues must a centrist pose if they intend to influence the body politic?
4) What is the purpose of a Centrist Coalition? Why a Coalition?
5) What are the strengths and weaknesses of the current Two-party System?
6) What of the US, and world, Economy, and the plight of the individual within it?
7) Confronting the issue of Socialism, and why the talking heads in politics have no idea what it really is.
8) The dangers of a political culture structured on an Either/Or basis, e.g. polarization.

Many other question will be entered later. In the meantime, the above points should sufficiently juggle some heads, whether they are liberals, conservatives, or independents like me.
