The theory of thought? Kind of an unclear response don't you think?

Yeah, the theory of thought doesn't sound too bad, and it fits you.  I haven't finished reading the whole thing yet, I'll give you a more clear response later, peace.

No, i wouldn't consider myself a populist.  I guess my main adversion to it would be that I am much more inclined to be an 'everyman for himself' type of person when it comes to politics.  I don't believe charity is the job of our governments, I believe charity is the job of our churches.  So any political movement that sets out to help the opressed and defeat the elite is misguided in my opinion.  Political parties or government as a whole, in my opinion, shouldn't attempt to help or hinder anyone, it should attempt to make opportunities fair and identical for everyone.  The genius of the american constitution is that it was written to limit the role of government... not to use government to try to even the unbalance in society whether it's social or economic or whatever.  I think the government's main purpose is to protect our freedom, not to try and help us financially or socially, and the populist movement as you've described it above attempts to correct financial and social divides.
