I never understood why Americans, who are usually adamant about their 
right to privacy, don't blink an eye when forced to state their 
political preference when registering to vote.

Yes, I know, it's because it allows them to vote in the primaries, but 
I've never understood why the primaries were run using public funds, in 
the first place.  Political parties are private coroporations.  Let them 
pay for their nomination processes!  No one would tolerate the state 
paying for Coca-Cola or Citibank's executive board meeting where they 
decide who's going to be the new CEO.  It shouldn't be any different for 
the Democratic or Republican parties.

(And don't get me started on why there's only the same two parties at 
all levels of government!)
