Nice one, KoL, and there I was thinking that I'd mellowed in my old age ...

I must admit that becoming a father of three has made me rather unforgiving when it comes to crimes against children ... I'd also started to get sentimental about my country ... I've also become disillusioned after 10 years as a youth leader of a small leftist party ... so I didn't expect this sort of score ...

Trotsky, I'm surprised how close to the bottom of the chart you are. Are you the anarcho-communist type that sees the gradual destruction of the state, as Marx predicted, and the following creation of a collectivist utopia? If you're more of the socialist type, then I'm surprised that you're so close to the bottom.

As a side, its funny how both you and I view the concept of "freedom" in such different ways. Anybody that close to the bottom is obviously an avid supporter of freedom for the individual, but depending on where you are economically, that "freedom" is seen to be achieved in such different ways. I am one to see an individual's freedom realized through the liberation of the market, whereas you see it through the tight regulation and/or popular control of the market. Not looking to start a debate here, just merely pointing out how the differences are rooted in the similarities.

Bebie M, you're my closest ally! It seems that almost no one ever ends up in the lower right corner. Even if you look on the political compass site of past rulers and famous persons, they end up in every box other than the lower right. So bizarre!
