'Tis the politicking season so I thought I'd throw up a link to the "political compass" survey. Some have you have probably taken this before. For those of you who haven't, it's pretty interesting. I doubt it's perfect as it is almost impossible to design a perfect survey. But it's more complex and accurate than the typical internet survey/quiz. If nothing else it will get you to think about your political values a lot.

They don't let you link to your results directly, so I can only say that I was: Economic Left/Right: -5.63, Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -3.64. That translates to roughly the middle of the bottom left box, somewhere near Nelson Mandela and Ghandi.

Oh yeah, I decided to start a sub-blog that will only contain creative writing type things. It's down there in my link field under the name fuzzy math.
