I think you should be more PC -- Photographically Correct in your application of political terminology to a photography users list. Therefore .... I would have to be some kind of 98% gray socialist not be be all for it or if you shoot in color .... I would have to be some kind of unsaturated socialist not to be all for it. Now the latter is obviously more objectionable that the term pinko which obviously bothers my rainbow. I'm still trying to figure out how tolerant my grey scale is. By the way, the term "pinko socialist" has always been a term complimentary to old fashioned purist socialists who, if memory serve me correct, liked those old fashioned Retina folding cameras.
