This test is horrible. I'm pro-environment and religious (in my own way, mind you), but I believe people need to work to get ahead, gov. can be wasteful and ineficient in many areas, and that most companies make reasonable profit. I end up a liberal, which places me in the same category with people who want strict gov. intervention in business (not just for env. controls).

In other countries, even the pro-business parties are pro-environment. It's just a global trend.

I have no problem with being a liberal, I am one. It should just designate better between liberals and more socialistic liberals.

^There are plenty of liberals just like you. You're not special. Get over it.

LOL

But seriously, that's the truth.

Well duh

The test still sucks, tho

You're right. The groups are limited for certain people, considering the number of groups there are for other people.

That's me. On the moral scale, I'm in line with Badnarik of the Libs, but economically I'm in line with the Tories up in Canada (blah)

That is interesting.....because my PS201 text book says the opposite (from 2005).

1/24/2007 7:19:59 AM

i doubt it.

it's borne out by consistent studies, that liberalism increases in direct proportion to the amount of education one has. conservatives are more likely to have only a high school diploma, or some trade school.

there's always the exceptions, of course. Like me I'm extremely liberal, yet dumb as dirt.

I believe many of those studies showed that conservatives are more likely to have a bachelor's degree than liberals, but liberals are more likely to have doctorates and masters.
