Does everyone in the US strongly identify with a political party? I kinda think political parties are a major problem, but one that will never go away either. I'd rather be identified as individual with opinions on various topics than as a supporter of a party. I dunno, maybe i'm splitting hairs.
@Chriskorvela My impression which might be wrong is that people seem to be more political the farther you go out west in Canada. I'm in Quebec where it's a big mixed bag of everything.
