Thanks for the reminder. Results: - Social Moderate (43% permissive) - Economic Conservative (63% permissive) - best described as a Centrist - You exhibit a very well-developed sense of Right and Wrong and believe in economic fairness. :-) - my circle was right smack center on the face of John McCain hahaha This was fun.

Why is it that on this chart "Fascist" is prominently displayed outside "Totalitarian" (totally attached to "Republican"), yet "Communist" is completely missing from the picture? Is this a coincidence? I think, not. I have researched the subject and there are many other versions of political spectrum representation, and not one seem to be so misleading.

"I am troubled by the eroding distinction between entertainment and marketing." For me the answer is: I EMBRACE eroding distinction between entertainment and marketing. The invisible hand will always prevail. My favorite question? “I am troubled by the eroding distinction between entertainment and marketing.”
