Homework Assignment

So a pretty standard tool in the political world is that of the Political Compass. Basically it ranks you on 2 different scales. One scale is Authoritarian vs. Libertarian and the other scale is Right vs. Left. I find this far more effective than being branded a Republican or a Democrat as it actually brings your own personal values into the equation.

Here is my result:
So I would be 2.8 Right, 2.5 Libertarian.
So here is the site www.politicalcompass.org/index and I suggest that everyone takes the test and figures out where they stand. Pretty cool tool and is a neat method for standardizing political views. Makes for interesting conversations over drinks (well at least here in DC it does)
