Were you guys seriously so busy making out that you totally missed the fact that Eggman and Acap just agreed with each other? On fiscal policy?

Seriously, I would have replied sooner but I was busy having a stroke from the shock of it all.

I bet we agree on more than we disagree on.

This would be an interesting time to link to The Political Compass.  Have we done this before?  I'm at roughly (-5,-5).

Idealistically, I'm pretty right libertarian at -6/4.26.  Sadly, I've come to the conclusion that libertarianism only works if we're all grown-ups, and there is a critical mass of immature adults that keeps that system from working in the US these days.

man, so many of those questions just make me want to write a paragraph instead of clicking one of the little buttons.

like, "Those who are able to work, and refuse the opportunity, should not expect society's support." what does that mean? If A-Cap is asking me that question it means something different than if my old lefty-roommate asked me that question, etc.

also, astrology? what?

"Some people are naturally unlucky."???

Aww, yeah, baby. I'm in the Gandhi quadrant!

Also, who's going to plot all these results on a single chart for us?

Civilization only works if we're all grown-ups. This is the problem.

I hate quizzes like this. I don't feel like I need to write a paragraph but I feel like there needs to be a middle option, like "not sure" or something. It seems to me that a big part of the problem in politics is people stating strong opinions on subjects they don't have enough information about.

But, I am stuck in a cold house unable to get started on accomplishing anything while I wait for the heating technician to come so I did it anyway. -5.38, -5.74. Apparently that is awfully close to "classical libertarian collectivism of anarcho-syndicalism" for someone who has no idea what that means.

I'm roughly the Dalai Lama (-4.88, -7.03). Just don't ask for a little something, you know, for the effort.

As if there was ever any doubt, I landed slightly more libertarian than milton friedman.
