I guess I am more left-wing than I thought.

I guess i am a centerist.

I'm pretty damn anarchist...

Ryan · 10-30-02, 04:23 PM

Actually, if I am reading this correctly, the lower the negative number on the Economic scale, the more toward the left you reside. I guess that means Adam D and dancegirl are just Commy Pigs!

Adam D · 10-30-02, 04:32 PM

sort of....I'm not authoritarian in nature, but very economically liberal.

Ryan · 10-30-02, 04:36 PM

Just call me Newt.

Heh. I'm not nearly as liberal as those particular questions would make me appear; I answered those questions with a balance between what I perceive as ideological/hopeful and pragmatic/useful. Admittedly, I struggle with my own views on a daily basis, especially with regards to the individual vs. the masses. For example, I see and respect the rights regarding smokers and personal water craft, but I feel a preference regarding health and environmental/annoyance concerns. Truly, I'd rather see a group of people work together to find a solution (such as stricter air quality rules, healthier methods of ingestion for various substances, quieter and less environmentally destructive machines, etc), but I recognize that the government affords us the most easiest (though perhaps not the most effective/appropriate) means of accomplishing many of these tasks.

And then there were just questions which I thought were a bit obscure, such as the one regarding Jewish persecution. Do they consider modern terrorism by Palestinians to be persecution? Is suffering something that people should deserve? Surely people choose actions which lead to consequences, but I think it is wholly inappropriate to ascribe to the notion that a people's persecution is deserved. Perhaps a more sensible question should be, "assuming that Jewish people have in some way destined much of their persecution, should compassion be shown to them?"

*sigh* Oh well. Interesting, nonetheless. All it really told me is that I've been more heavily influenced by my recent studying of Gandhi and company than I'd thought.
