Hard core, me

and you?

Steve Bates said...: The last such test I took, several years back... and I do not care to take another... was called Political Compass, and its two axes (as best I recall) were Left/Right and Authoritarian/Libertarian. At the time, the Liberal Coalition (note the owl in the left column of my blog) was very active. Many members took that test, including me, and I was the most left/libertarian of its members, even including our leader, NTodd of Dohiyi Mir. Are there bloggers to the left of me? Certainly; terrette comes to mind. Are there more libertarian bloggers? um, let's not make jokes here; of course there are. But it's a pretty good classification of me.

Except... there's this populist streak that anyone who grew up in my family is certain to have acquired... All generalizations are false, including this one. :); Wednesday, November 28, 2007 10:47:00 PM

all generalizations are fun, including this one.; Wednesday, November 28, 2007 11:22:00 PM

As usual, the questions were a little lacking. Would I allow prayer in schools? Why the hell not? But I sure as hell don't think any school authorities should be endorsing or condemning the practice. Interestingly (not really), the summary questions were different from the ones asked. That one turned into "should the schools teach family values," which I would have opposed worded that way.

Anonymous said...: Ha! My dot was exactly where Hipparchia's was. And, henceforward, Keifus will be known as a right-wing nut case. Relatively speaking.; Thursday, November 29, 2007 5:47:00 PM
Keifus said...: You'd be half correct. Objectively speaking.
