California F-scale test

[angus]

apparently I'm a liberal airhead as well.  I got 2.6

some were kinda silly.  e.g., "some day astrology will explain lots of things"  and some were right on the money:  "nowadays people mix so much that you must protect yourself from disease."  Hell, my wife won't let me near the boy after if I've been on the subway.  "Did you wash your hands?"  "I mean, with soap."  "Thoroughly."  Too true.  My wife is a serious leftist.  I'd imagine she'd get around a 4.  (This is lucky for the boy.  I hate to imagine what a family with two irresponsible parents must be like.  Advice to libertarians:  Don't marry another lassez-faire type.)

"You are a whining rotter."

This will probably be the lowest blue avatar score.

Very impressive bullmoose!  You should change parties.

it's not a party affiliation question.  I'm sure there are whiners in all parties.  Even among socialists and libertarians.  In fact, very little of this test is meant to connect one to a particular party.  For example, one group gets offended if you burn a flag, the other gets offended if you burn a cross, but in fact, neither are particularly fire-friendly.  Or, a more relevant example, one group accuses the other of trying to control personal aspects of a person's life (e.g., whether or not I can have a fully automatic weapon in my closet), and the other group also accuses the first group of being too controlling.  You'll make yourself mad trying to read partisan affiliation into a test that simply measures ALL CONTROL versus NO CONTROL by government, since each of the two major parties are somewhat controlling, and somewhat libertarian.

Actually in my view the GOP is enormously more controlling than the Democrats.  However, you are correct that even the lesser of the two bad choices - the Democrats - are far from ideal.  I suppose that is inevitable given the monstrous electorate.

I agree with your sentiments here.  only disagree on the fine point regarding which major party is less offensive.  but yes, they're both very controlling, and into regulating what should never become government's domain.  Wherein lies sovereignty?  I say with the individual.  Which makes me a closet libertarian.  Too bad the actual LP is so far out there in terms of practical issues.
