[@Slypheed] Nope, because independent is a label for politics now isn't it? ;) Honestly independent, at least most that I'm aware of actually are a part of a political party but are so ashamed of the current two party system that they don't want the label and are unaware other ones exist (or fear using another label will paint them in a negative light.) But, that's just my experiance. My brothers says he's an independant and I can assure you there's something far more fitting for him. I honestly don't know where the self centered thing came from.
