Political Compass

According to the political compass, I'm Economic Left/Right: -8.38, Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -8.41, which places me somewhere a bit further out than the Greens, Nader, Nelson Mandela, Ghandi, and The Dalai Lama.  Bush is in the opposite quadrant.  Not surprising.

Edit:
Bored.  Did a few others during my jurisdictional studying.

Socialist - You believe the free market can be beneficial, but that a large and powerful state is necessary to redistribute the wealth of the top classes to those of the bottom. You also think that basic utilities and trasportation should be publicly owned. Your historical role model is Eugene Debs.
