Nah.. Julia a leftist...not a chance in hell....I had you pegged all the way as a middle-of-the-road socially conservative libertarian. My intuition usually serves me well....How is it possible I've made such a bad call?

Because I do not go on and on endlessly about the government's role in society... as long as that government is representative of the people, and ours isn't.

I kinda like things such as roads, hospitals, bridges, and schools... and I think it is the government's job to provide these things... too bad ours is looking for ways to build (Orwellian term for what is happening to Iraq) other countries and not our own

Status: offline 		2, -2 acually a little farther right than last time I took the test. I was about 1.7, -1.5 or something like that last time I took the test 6 or so years ago. likely a difference between some of the answers that I was wishing there was something more neutral than agree or disagree. The limits of the questions force an answer so you give one that is closr than the others rather than your exact feelings.

Still pretty darned central and still off in that quarter that seems barren of iconic leaders.

That's about where I've always landed on this thing.
