So apparently I'm neighbors with Gandhi, Godemp is around the corner from us both, and Lizzie is sitting on his lap.

Last time I took this test, years and years ago, I was NOT in this location!

I'm looking forward to seeing where Nec Lands.

Who wants to bet that he lands halfway between Gandhi and Hitler?

In Stalin's corner? Gah!

I have to ask, where were you? I don't think I could seen you anywhere but in the left-libertarian corner. Maybe I could have seen you in the right-libertarian corner. But, I would never believe you'd be in the authoritarian side at all.

Well, a few (okay, maybe more than just a few) years ago I was pretty high up there on the Authoritarian side. I was very state-centric and didn't care much about people as individuals. That has clearly changed over time.

I was actually kinda surprised at how left I landed. I guess I can really say I am a democratic socialist. Funny, cause I do believe a lot in capitalism, or at least I thought I did... I guess my idea of center is a little off and needs to be calibrated, which makes sense in light of you landing somewhat left. If a supporter of laissez faire can land left at all, I can't even imagine what the hell right means in this! :)

I support a free market. But, there are things that don't have a market; those are (some of) the things that need to be funded. Art doesn't have a market; it has philanthropist supporters.

I tend to think of the market as being for commodities, for consumables, for services, etc. I don't see most theatre as being something on the market. I know it is, being that anything that can be bought/sold/bartered is on some market, but it seems strange to put that in the same category as movies.
