Argh...that's a neat way of doing the graph, but it doesn't click right if you try to save it! :)

This doesn't surprise me, simply because I've always considered myself somewhat of a civil libertarian, but true libertarian ideas on the economy out and out scare me. I honestly believe that we, as a society, should always look towards helping those in our society who, mostly for reasons that are no fault of their own, poor and sick and hurting. Hence, that's one of the reasons I've always been for nationalized health care (that, and I'm faced with the prospect that because of my genetic makeup, which I had no say over, I may not be able to get health insurance, or it'll be very expensive). But I'll not rant.

Y'see, I think taxes are the price we pay to live in a civilized society. Which means that Luns' joke about metric being used in "civilized countries" may be closer to the truth than he or I realize.

Anyway, take the test here, and then come back and let us all know how you did. And thanks to kaosfury who was the person who pointed this out to me.

teehee... I've gone lefty. :) Pretty good for a "good Christian girl." ;) I think if they had asked the right questions, I might have been closer to the L/A axis, though. Economically I *am* far out. :)

Glad you're doing better lately, kat. *hug*

This is kind of scary...

...There is NO WAY you are more of a leftist than I am, sonny! (Wanna arm-wrestle over it?)

Haw-haw, I'm more radical than you are! ;)

I scored slightly closer to the axis on the L/A scale and a bit to your left on the L/R scale.

Fun.

We all may need some right-wing friends

You know, if we all only speak with people who agree with us, we'll have no clue come next election or whatever.

Seriously, my most valuable friends are the ones who disagree with me on issues and yet are still my friends.
