The Left/Right Divide is Obsolete

    by Haley Kynefin, The Pulse:

    As we enter a new era of cultural conflict, old political boundaries no longer serve us.

    I was never happy with the political division of “left” vs. “right.” The words, first and foremost, are vague even in their more primitive directional sense, since their interpretation depends entirely on the orientation of their user. What is “left” from my perspective will be “right” from yours, if you are standing opposite me, so it is important first to establish a frame of reference; otherwise there is likely to be confusion.
