Take your political temperature ...
Are you a Hitler waiting to happen? Maybe Gandhi is more your style. And I guess there's a little Stalin in all of us.
This page claims to offer a "measure of attitudes and inevitable human contradictions to provide a more integrated definition of where people and parties are really at." Not sure how accurate it is, but it's definitely interesting. It features a series of questions that you answer, and it then tells you where you stand politically.
Where did I land?
Economic Left/Right: -2.50
Authoritarian/Libertarian: -3.64
You'll have to answer the questions to understand what that means, but I think it essentially says I'm a left-leaning Libertarian.
If you take the analysis, post a comment here on your score ...
BTW: I stumbled across the link to this on The Gus's site. Credit where credit is due ...

gary took this first, and i watched over his shoulder (he got about the same score as me) - altho we agreed on the "agree/disagree" parts on everything, it got a little ugly where we differed on the "strongly" part... (geez, you think you know someone)
