6. Filling my usual space between Ghandi, Mandella, and the
Dali Lama.
I like to call that the triumphant triangle.

9. I envy you!
being more to the left of me on economics, but on libertarian/authoritian I edge you out. Damnit this is British standards, I would be extreme left there too, well who is up for a good old revolution, could someone teach me how to write good? I wanna be like Jefferson or Paine or have the wit of Franklin.

Economic Left/Right: -6.00
Libertarian/Authoritarian: -1.18

I think of myself as more libertarian than that, but hey that is what I got. I also think of myself more moderate of economics, but I think the way some of these questions are worded makes you slide more to the left.
Some questions are loaded. Of course what is good for corporations is not always best for everyone, of course globalization should benefit people.

16. Yeah! Welcome to the Triumphant Triangle!
that is where I always fall.
Mandella a little north, Dali Lama a bit southwest, and Ghandi a bit to the east.
Nice place to hang. I think.

17. Speaking of moving further to the Left...
Edited on Sat Dec-20-03 06:14 PM by Darranar
Economic Left/Right: -9.50
Libertarian/Authoritarian: -7.74

More radical on economic issues then last time, less radical on L/A.

I'mm probably a little to the right of Nom Chomsky. No surprise there.

Nice to see I'm closer to Ghandi than to Thatcher :)

On edit: Realized the test places me into a libertarian area when all this time, I thought I was more of a social traditionalist. Odd.

21. I've moved more to the left economically
Economic Left/Right: -5.00
Libertarian/Authoritarian: -6.00

I think about six months ago I was only - 2.0 economically. I've always been around -6 on the libertarian scale.

I like occupying the same square as Mandela, Gandhi, the Dalai Lama, Al Sharpton, and Dennis Kucinich. I like that you can view the hypothetical plotting of the 2004 candidates.

24. All of us are on the left economically, but all the politicians are...
....on the right, economically. Anyone else notice that. Let's see, I wonder if it is possible that they are working for and representing someone other than the American public.

27. I see what you mean cryo
Yes most of the "electable" candiates happen to be on the right on economics. That is why I like DK so much, he not only is a social liberal but is an economic liberal, economic liberalism under FDR is what made my family, newly arrived at our shores from their countries, devout democrats. My other ancestors had arrived when the democratic party was the party of the people but was a ok with slavery but these folks lived in Urban Pittsburgh, they must have stayed democrats on, but they were unionists because my ancestor served in the 123rd Pa infantry.
