| | Independent Gay Forum: Rauch, Jonathan. 'The Future of the Movement: An Independent Vision.' |
| | Gay politics has paid its debt to the necessary efforts of early radicals and its future lies in the center, looking forward to the day when politicians of many stripes will woo gays as a swing vote. | | | And let me also add that the center is where the future is. In many ways the most profoundly interesting and deeply felt pro-gay, non-gay politician in the country is not a Republican and not a Democrat. | | | And the radical center, I think, is where we will go and where we will belong, and where the American public increasingly is. To get there, however, requires a kind of new vow of political independence, and thus the "independent vision." |

| | My Past Is Now: Future Memoirs of a Labour Lawyer. by Andy Parnaby |
| | Canadian radical evangelicalism was, Dr Rawlyk suggests, the religious equivalent of radical American republicanism. | | | Before 1812, Upper Canadian radical Methodism was, he concludes, 'the leading edge of evangelicalism in the colony.' The 'Canada Fire,' lit incidentally by American preachers such as Calvin Wooster and Nathan Bangs, was perceived to be the catalyst of the second Great Awakening in the United States. | | | Policing Canada's Century is a study commissioned by the Canadian Association of Chiefs of Police (CACP), although the author himself suggested the idea to the association. |

| | Charles Henry Riggs, III -- Random Thoughts |
| | The issue he chose was trade, referring in particular to the battle in 93 over NAFTA, and the politician he chose was Ross Perot. | | | This is because those who have called for widespread and radical political reform, such as term limits and a soft money ban, are NOT, characteristically, in the vanguard of those calling for changes in the entitlement eligibility age. | | | Then, of course, there was the other brand of centrism to which he referred, that of 'sensible centrism.' He adduced as his primary politician example that of Colin Powell, though to the best of my recollection the writer was less than forthcoming on suggested sensible centrist issues. |

| | Terrorism |
| | Radical politicians, though they may be influential in their own small districts, usually do not sway enough voters to gain national offices or, should they be elected, are often forced to moderate their policies in order to achieve the needed political compromises that permit them to govern effectively. | | | Again, western politicians and opinion makers must not fall prey to the idea that state-sponsored terrorists are simply acting out an ideological cause in controversial fashion. | | | At the same time, politicians have just as little guarantee of being successful in their attempts at being initially elected or re-elected. |
