I think the absence of the neutral option was to weed out us Centrist.
Most people believe that Centrist are fence sitters, useless, and being dishonest with ourselves. After all, you have to prefer leaning to one side more than the other, and even if you are ambidextrous, you have to favor a hand, right?
I don't have a problem picking a side. I have never had a problem picking a side, but that doesn't mean that the side I choose was the right one, or the one that I wanted. Sometimes the only choice is between flour or cornmeal.
I am the oldest of ten children, five girls and give boys. The rule in the house, was if you mess with one, you mess with all. Being a girl didn't get me a pass. My Dad did not care. He expected us girls ro pull our weight, but he was harder on the boys. I never fought a single fight of my own doing. I could always make the other person see how, picking a fight with me was the most stupid and regrettable thing they could possibly do.
Yet, I fought a ton of fights in the name of one of my siblings. That all ended when I beat the snot out of the town bully in front of about twenty kids at school. I quickly got the label as "bat shit crazy", and nobody messed with me after that, nor did they mess with my siblings.
To remain honest. I have to admit I blindsided him. He was sitting on his bike when I started wailing the crap out of him with a Coke bottle that God had placed in the gutter for me. David had his slingshot. I had my Coke bottle.
Crazy thing was it turned out he was harassing my little sister because he had a crush on her. They even dated for a while long after that.
