well, I didn't have the feeling they tried everything -
fearful because they probably still had to govern with themn
for the next 4 years.

I'm neither left or right.

I believe in independence.

groove. might be correct, maybe
not. I have other opinions.
But independece/freedom is something I believe in... it's
really important, but it does not exist in the world we live
in.
Depence can be found everywhere, and more people (aswell as
animals) are bound then free =(((

yup, mainly because i strongly agreed / disagreed with most
of the statements :D

believing in freedom would certainly make you a libertarian,
but the whole labelling of beliefs isn't my thing either.
And i just can't align myself with any political party, it
feels so *dirty*.

the problem is not a matter of left vs right political
viewpoints. both left and right are capable of indulging
in:

believing that their political perspective is the measure of
truth.

attempting to resolve their own self esteem problems by
identifying themselves with a political agenda that is
"right" or "true."

falling back on personal attacks and insults instead of
choosing to be civil (even in the face of incivility).

failing to seek a non-confrontational dialog which doesn't
depend on senseless violence or destruction to make a
point.

blindly identifying with the "team" that seems to be
"winning" (wealth, success, political power and influence,
social acceptance).

blindly identifying with the "team" that seems to represent
the underdog that has been unfairly disempowered by the
powerful status quo.

failing to realize the essential validity of each
individual, and to know that we all are derived from the
same source, and to accept and apply the implications of
this knowledge.

Capitalism betrays a lack of human evolution, as does
consumerism. It preys on the basest animal instincts, it
reveals the grossest acts of egoism and selfishness.

True story - there was a town in mexico - during some
conflict, the town was cut off from the rest of the Mexican
Economy - gradually, the people becamse much nicer people,
more peaceful with each other - money was useless there. An
air of true socialism pervaded, drug and alcohol addiction
dwindled to virtually zero, as did the local crime rate. As
soon as communications were restored with the rest of
Mexico, the corruption returned, the crime rate restored
itself, as did the drug addiction rate, and normal Western
commerce was resumed. Pooh pooh it if you like, but it
happened.

as soon as we destroy organized religion, free the markets

should be smooth as silk.

i must say that i like my religion and organization tends to
promote unity and friendship (no need to discuss counter
arguments to this, they're well documented and understood)..
i also don't agree that complete disengagement from
government regulation is the most viable and humanistic
option.. ideally, though not in practice, government breaks
up monopolies and busts corruption.. as far as race
purification, i know you're kidding!

I answered truthfully. Here are my "scores". (NB I do
agree a bit with promo's point on the loaded language and
that it seemed slightly in favour of the left)

Economic Left/Right: 0.62
Libertarian/Authoritarian: 1.90

Do I look like such a tory monster now?

At the end of the day, my politics influence how I
vote on a given issue and use a small portion of my
disposable income. That's all. I don't let politics dictate
which art I like, who my friends are, who I talk to, what I
read, etc. the way some people do, almost using being "left"
or "right" as some sort of modern day replacement for
religion.

I'm unemployed at the moment (albeit living off savings) and
chose to leave employment. For a few months it is only
likely that I will find low paid work. Do I suddenly think
low paid workers should have to pay no tax? Do I now think I
should be eligible to claim jobseekers allowance? Nope!

i dig that

i answerred the questions thoughtfully, took the
implications to mind, as a result there were only a few
strong answers from me cause i had a lot of 'what ifs' in
mind

nifty how john howard is placed on that graph ey? the author
is making a subtle point. in recent news howard has opposed
gay/lesbian marriages, days after the vatican has. it quite
a base indicator of his character. not that im picking
faults. i disagree with That issue, but i voted for him :)

well as i described radio is an ethical way of sharing music
- also it's tagible - a radio plays a piece then another oe
and the artist gets paid by te prs for the time it was
played on the radio.
the same goes for borrowing a record - you may have the
intention to give it back to the person who paid for it.
responswibility is important and I do see your point - some
people do behave like this but most don't .
the other issue is of course price fixing on cd's which is
out of orer - the high prices, import cd's within europe and
to america being classed as "luxury goods"
major labels giving only 10% to the artist (unlike most
independents) - but consumers and the record labels ned tro
try and negotiate their practices else it's a loose loose
situation.
did you know that the ringtones market is bigger than the
singles market according to music week a few weeks ago -
what a terrible dumbing down eh?
