Why are the right winters here so sensitive?
because the left summers are so harsh Tongue

Teddy what is your faith? I got the impression from your post about the pastafarians that you were an atheist.

God exists. I've asked Him for help and He has helped me. I have not a single shred of doubt in my mind that when I die, I will understand, or perhaps "be with" God.

I am also certain that God is not an author. I don't subscribe to any of the, what I call, "Book Religions". While I define myself as having "Faith" I do not have a "Religion". God is in our hearts!

Enough Godrant Tongue

I think that my idea here was a bit flawed. It'd be too difficult to try and fully explain all the policies. In general I've noticed that you could fit any party in the world into 1 of 6, 7, or 8 categories.

1 are the "social" or "order" right-wing Conservative parties. They tend to not be so focused on fiscal issues as they are on social issues.
2 are the fiscal neo-cons, who want to hack and slash at government because they see it as a pointless waste; what separates them from Libertarians is their "values" such as being anti-gay
3 are the Libertarians, who say "If your gay for gay, be gay", but also support small government.
4 are the centrist, moderate, pragmatists, who would like the government to do as much as is reasonable, while keeping taxes as low as possible.
5 are the left-wing "bleeding heart" voters who are always willing to pay a few extra dollars in taxes if it would help someone out.
6 are the hardcore "I am left" voters, who feel it's the civic duty of everyone to give their money to the government so that it can be better spent.
7 are the somewhat "rare" populist-authoritarian types, who think that government should keep some order and values, but at the same time has a duty to help those less off.
Somewhat part of 7, but could be 8, are those "Conservatives" who are caring and pragmatic to the point that they allow government to help those who need it without complaining.

And no, this is not for a polsim, this is actually a continuation of my old "20 questions" 'game' from a while back.
