:D You're the hippy! Don't go all Dipper crazy on us. :D
You should see my pot farm on FaceBook!!!

3 lots, an A Frame, a hot tub, two dogs, 126,000 in coins and 25 pot bucks, with a full crop of Maui Waui due in, in about 8 hours. Virtual hippy life is good.

It's amazing how perspectives shape things eh? I'm more left than you, but I see you as more left then me, lol. And I'm pretty sure you see me as more right than you too.

I imagine it's my view of economics that pushes me farther to the right. Gotta go to work now...for the big multinational drug corp! :D

You work for da MAN, that's why man, now I get it man, you've been conned, you sold out man, you're one of them now man!!!

Picture me saying that like Dennis Hopper, in his character from Apocalypse Now.

Does this mean I can call you a neo con and you can call me a leftard now?

About where I thought... maybe a little left but not much. I know some of my fluctuations come from how I read some questions (such as the one party state one).

I think my left lean comes from my opinion of corporations, same sex marriage and abortion. Having watched corporation gobble up small companies to make more money and eliminate compilation, I think gay people make good parents, and no one should have the right to tell a woman what she can do with her body.

I'm with you. I tend to be socially liberal and my time in the Alberta Oilpatch has made me a big fan of gov't regulation on things like safety and environmental issues. I'm too aware of the crap that what too many larger corporations will pull when they think no one is watching or will do anything. At the same time I know my authoritarian score goes up because I do believe in the death penalty and that prison is a punishment more than a rehabilitative process.

Enjoy the nice day, I'm hanging out this week at CARI, at the McLaughlan Arena, for a hockey school.

'Twas a nice day. I was at Fox Meadows until noon, then had to do real work in the afternoon. Would have preferred outdoor work today. Kinda miss landscaping on days like today.

You work for da MAN, that's why man, now I get it man, you've been conned, you sold out man, you're one of them now man!!!

LOL.
The libertarian part didn't surprise me, but you're a bit left of where I thought you'd be. But then again, a couple question seemed to have been pretty vague.
For instance:
"Making peace with the establishment is an important aspect of maturity." What do they mean by making peace with it? Do they mean follow it rigidly? Can a person disagree with it but go along with it for the most part?

Economic Left/Right: -2.50
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -1.18

Exactly.

Thank you very much. I tried that and it didn't show in the preview so I though it had not worked.

CDNBear and mentalfloss, I am surpised that I am so close to the center, albeit on the right side. And I am sure that all those who declared repeatedly that I am an "extremist" are as well.

You're not really an extremist, to me anyways, hence why I wasn't surprised.
