    Default Political Compass

    I saw this on

    another forum I read, thought it was interesting.

    http://www.politicalcompass.org/index

    As you'd

    expect from the name, its a four-point spectrum rather than just Left-Right. It uses L-R as the economic scale, and

    "Authoritarian" and "Libertarian" as the north-south axis, indicating social beliefs.

    I took the test and found

    myself a lot closer to the center of both than I thought I'd be.

    Gee, what a surprise. I'm a

    left wing libertarian. But by this test, so was Ghandi. Not a bad person to think like.
    To compel a man to subsidize with his taxes the propagation of ideas which he disbelieves and abhors is sinful and tyrannical.

    I'm a little off from you guys.

    I was dead 0.00 on the social aspects, and +2 on the economic. Its a fun exercise, and I really thought I'd be

    further right on both.

    Why state the

    obvious????

    OTOH, I stand on my offal, even if it stinks to some.

    I'd really love to see my perfume and

    political pal DST take this test. Could be a fun comparison Doc, you out there?
