Liberals and conservatives....

The Culture war from the 60's. Hippies in office, or Berkley get's it's chance to rule.

I tend to land on the William Harbour end of conservatism which is very close to Goldwater:

Humans are flawed and prone to mistakes.

Whatever they touch will in turn reflect that flaw.

Avoid excessive tinkering; the more times you touch it, the more chance you have at breaking what was not broken.

Hmmmm. . .what says more about my political tendencies, my rating on this test:

Economic Left/Right: 2.88
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: 1.79





Or the fact that I read these questions as very much flawed in their stated purpose?

Meanwhile, PJ's seemed dead on:

It's only one step from passport to national ID. These days, to cross borders you need passports anyway.

I've never been able to pick a side. How the heck do you choose?? With your wallet/bank account?? I don't know. Politics in general confuses the hell out of me...I never understand what they are saying. I guess I will go with the side that can directly answer the questions...lol.

I must say I was quite surprised.

DG's test is more multi-dimensional. On that one, I come out about where Milton Friedman is. But candidly, if I answered the questions tomorrow, I might shift a square or two in any direction.
