What is so wrong with being a member of a political party? What is wrong with people working as a group, for something good? Working with a group toward something good is better than being a shut-in and thinking you know everything. A lot of self proclaimed independents I know don't have the first clue as to how anything really works. They repeat what they hear on right wing radio (that's right, these so called independents live and die by the Republican daily talking points), and think that calling themselves independent somehow automatically makes them smarter than people who declare a political party or affiliation. A lot of self proclaimed independents in America today are the least knowledgeable people on global and political issues, and I'd have to guess their IQs are extremely low.
"...the successful annihilation of organized crime's subculture in America would rock the 'legitimate' world's foundation, which would ultimately force fundamental social changes and redistributions of wealth and power in this country. Meyer Lansky's dream was to bond the two worlds together so that one could not survive without the other." - Dan E. Moldea
