    1) Do you think of yourself as left or right? Centrist. Righter on economic issues, lefter in social issues.

    2) Do you support the death penalty? No

    3) Do you support abortion? No opinion

    4) Do you support the current military action in Iraq? No

    5) Do you support Israel and their right to be a sovereign nation? No/Yes Also support palestinian state. Israel's actions don't warrant anyone's supprt.

    6) Do you support the United Nations as it is today? Yes, it would be far more effective if nations like France and the US pulled their heads out of their asses.

    7) Do you support the United Nations' decision to make Libya the head of the Human Rights Commission? Neh. Its not permanent, may encourage Syria to improve their record or atleast draw attention to their record. Neither support nor dislike.

    7) Do you support the Kyoto Protocol? Absolutely Yes.

    8) Do you support the ICC, or the concept of an international court? Yes. The arguments against on this site are appallingly bad, involving paranoia or the expectation that the ICC must be perfect.

    9) Do you think George W. Bush is a war criminal? No

    10) Do you think Saddam Hussein is a war criminal? Fuck yes.

    11) Every citizen should have the right to carry a firearm. How could anyone agree with this? The NRA wouldn't even have the cheek to suggest this. I come from a country where cops don't need to carry firearms. It is quite nice.

    12) A strong government is needed with respect to the economy. Depends what you mean by strong. Is strong the ability of a govt, to control interest rates and keep inflation down? The will not to impose protectionist tarrifs for political gain? Actively pursue trade agreements? Not run up big fucking deficits that will stifle the economy just to implement tax cuts for the rich?

    13) From all to his ability, to all to his need. Some but not too much.

    14) The government that governs best governs least. Bullocks, a good govt. knows where and when to keep its nose out and when to step in. Both are neccessary.

    15) I like chocolate chip cookies They're ok. I like tollhouses.

    1) Do you think of yourself as left or right?
    Depends on the subject. Mostly liberal (left)

    2) Do you support the death penalty? [yes, no]
    Yes

    3) Do you support abortion? [yes, no]
    If you support abortion only in the first few days after pregnancy, that is still a yes.
    Only in extreme circumstances- to be determined by a jury of medical physicians and law professionals.

    4) Do you support the current military action in Iraq? [yes, no]
    No.

    5) Do you support Israel and their right to be a sovereign nation? [yes, no]
    Yes. But not their attitudes. I believe in self-determination, and Palestine should be a free country. Israel, while they have the right to a sovereign nation, are "stuck up".

    6) Do you support the United Nations as it is today? [yes, no]
    Yes and no. I think the Security Council should be changed, but other than that, not much.

    7) Do you support the United Nations' decision to make Libya the head of the Human Rights Commission? [yes, no]
    No. Where'd they get that?

    7) Do you support the Kyoto Protocol? [yes, no]
    Yes.

    8) Do you support the ICC, or the concept of an international court? [yes, no]
    Yes.

    9) Do you think George W. Bush is a war criminal? [yes, no]
    Yes.

    10) Do you think Saddam Hussein is a war criminal? [yes, no]
    Not from this war or the previous, but against his own people, yes.

    11) Every citizen should have the right to carry a firearm [agree, disagree]
    Agree.

    12) A strong government is needed with respect to the economy [agree, disagree]
    Agree.

    13) From all to his ability, to all to his need [agree, disagree]
    Agree.

    14) The government that governs best governs least [agree, disagree]
    Agree. Explanation for the previous three answers: I believe that the extreme ends of the spectrum are the only two choices that work inifinitely if executed correctly. All government or no government. Communism is close, if performed "right".

    15) I like chocolate chip cookies [agree, disagree]
    Agree.

    Yes.

    Disagree - I don't want anyone convicted of a violent felony to be able to legally carry a gun.

    Disagree. I believe in government regulation of the economy, but I'm also aware that our politicians can be purchased like a blowjob in the Holland tunnel.

    Disagree.

    Agree.

    Agree.

    1) Do you think of yourself as left or right? Left.

    2) Do you support the death penalty? No. I woudn't kill a killer.

    3) Do you support abortion? Yes, unless society will pay the costs of a ban.

    4) Do you support the current military action in Iraq? No, unless casualties are minimized (weren’t) and Iraq would be liberated (unlikely).

    5) Do you support Israel and their right to be a sovereign nation? 1st part: No to Israel’s oppression of Palestinians. 2nd part: Yes if “sovereign” is majority rule. All people should be majority-ruled, ideally by a global majority.

    6) Do you support the United Nations as it is today? Yes, on the path to something better.

    7) Do you support the United Nations' decision to make Libya the head of the Human Rights Commission? Yes.

    7 #2) Do you support the Kyoto Protocol? Likely. Haven’t read it, but what I’ve read about it sounds good.

    8) Do you support the ICC, or the concept of an international court? Yes.

    9) Do you think George W. Bush is a war criminal? I think he’s indictable; a criminal only if convicted in a fair trial.

    10) Do you think Saddam Hussein is a war criminal? I think he’s indictable if alive; a criminal only if convicted in a fair trial.

    11) Every citizen should have the right to carry a firearm. No, not violent felons for example. People should have the right to protect themselves & their property, not necessarily with a firearm. If people could enforce the right without firearms (with non-lethal technology, say) and a ban on civilian firearms would minimize violence, I’d support a ban even if it required an amendment to the US Constitution.

    12) A strong government is needed with respect to the economy. Yes, for example to break up monopolies that typically hurt the economy.

    13) From all to his ability, to all to his need. No, sounds like I’d be enslaved for the benefit of lazy people.

    14) The government that governs best governs least. No, the government that governs best governs optimally. Obviously zero people in government (the least) is sub-optimal.

    15) I like chocolate chip cookies. Yum.

    I would like to say that I think this is a really cool idea.
    But I would also like to see similar surveys that are about broader subjects than stupid politics.
