Economic Left/Right: -0.13
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -2.26

Just barely left and more libertarian than authoritarian. Sigh, no famous people sharing my position. Guess it could have been worse, eg dead centre... would that mean total political apathy, or just a completely balanced and sane individual?

Dead centre? Either that or a sight , hearing & speaking impaired person. Darn it take a lot of typing to try to be politically correct! :lol:

What do the following have in common?

1. Politically correct SMS.

2. Smart man.

3. Clean politics.

Answer: All are oxymorons. That is, ain't possible. :P

Well, I've heard of you, and you have your own website. So yes, I guess you're famous!

Then again, you're not in the same political position as me. You're further west and further south. Tsk tsk, a little extreme aren't we, young man?
