I came out as a leftist libertarian. Go figure.

And, reading my last post, realized that I described taking a political questionnaire as "fun." Guess how much I dated in high school?

Wrong! This one is called "The Political Compass." Hey, what does "WSPQ" stand for? I'm intrigued!

Interesting. I came out next to Ghandi, lower left quadrant. Good company, I'll take it.

it was fun!

i came out as a leftist libertarian too, but very close to the center of the graph -- somewhere between Pope Benedict and Nelson Mandella.

While these things are obviously not definitive, I always find it interesting that I tend to "believe" closer to the center than I speak. I think I'm more socially "liberal" but more economically and governmentally conservative.

Social Libertarian/Authoritarian -0.97

Why would it not surprise me that a guy whose screen name is Dr. Fager would have an almost perfect dosage?

(Seeing as how it seems like Dr. Fager could do everything)

I find it boring, probably why I have such a tough time joining in on these brew-ha-has.....

For example, just because I believe X to be immoral, it does not necessarily follow that I think X should be regulated by government.

Of course, I am in the minority that doesn't believe the government should force my "world view" upon others in every, or almost every, instance.

Except I thought there were questions where although I thought something was the moral or ethical choice, I DIDN'T think enforcing it was the gov't's job. I'll have to look at the quiz again.

What did it pigeonhole you as, B?

I landed right on top of Ghandi. Immediately went to Bed Bath & Beyond to purchase new linens and scented candles.

well, i suppose it was "high" "time" someone came to suck the "fun" out of it.
