[Bovril]

Country of Residence: United Kingdom of Great Britian and Northern Ireland: that's right, a kingdom, with a proper King (or, erm, Queen) and everyting!
Nationality: British/English/None
Political Compass Result: These are my results, but I regard the test as stupid and absurd, as well as deeply conservative (extra-small c). One is forced to to structure one's answers profoundly within the coordinates of the composer's ideology, so the 'test' is largely meaningless.
Economic Left/Right: -8.25
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -8.72
Where do you put yourself on the political spectrum: Libertarian Socialist/Council Comunist/Anarcho-Syndicalist.
Do you indentify yourself with a certain political grouping (socialist, neocon, etc):As above
Do you indentify yourself with a certain political party:Not really, but the two main socialist parties in the UK are working together next elections, so I might help with that.
Religion: Christianity. The kind Jesus liked, with comunality of goods, particular respect for the downtrodden and outcast, and so on.

Abortion: Absolutely support early on, just like St. Augustine.
War in Iraq: Hideous crime. Makes me question my opposition to the death penalty.
Marijuana: Legal to all over 18. Its less damaging in almost all respects than alcohol, including in inducing psychosis, which it is most blamed for. Alcoholic psychosis is common, Cannabis induced psychosis is rare, even ajusting for rates of usage.
Firearms: Ambivilent. Largely in favour of the option of ownership and opposed to production.
Gay Marriage: Same as straight in the eyes of the state, given that it (either the state or marriage) exists.
Gay adoption: Same criteria as straight couples or single adopters. The science shows gay couples make just as good parents eliminating other factors and slightly better parents keeping in other factors.
Religion in schools: Socially funded education should teach about religions and non-religions present in the milleiu in which they are situated as an academic subject, and should be utterly non-partisan. Organised private religious education of a faith based kind is fine too.
Death penalty: An attempt to destroy the industructible, i.e. the imminence of the neighbour. Horrific, uncivilised and certainly the most anti-Christian thing I can think of. So why do so many Christians support it?

United States: Last best hope on earth.
Abortion: Limited in cases of incest and the health of the birth giver.
War in Iraq: Undecided, I was deployed to Iraq as a Marine and the people are certainly better off now then they were before. They still dont use toilet paper though, left hand and a bottle of water.
Marijuana: Legalize and regulate it like cigarettes.
Firearms: Needed to defend property and life. To defend against a tyrannical government. What if the colonists had no rifles?
Gay Marriage: Why? The unability to reproduce is defeating of the purpose of marriage.
Gay adoption: Against. Men and women are needed to raise healthy children.
Religion in schools: Same as it is now in America.
Death penalty: Tough one because life is precious, except in the case of murders, pedophiles and terrorists.
Israel:Needs to be defended by the free world.
Obama: Cult of personality and it sickens me and I will leave it at that. If Americans wanted socialism then we would have had it long ago, that is why there are other countries.
UN: Just a place for despots to get an audience.
Patriotism/Nationalism: I believe in American Exceptionalism.

The Political Compass


Economic Left/Right: -2.12
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -2.92



DOB: 15 May 1979
Country of Residence: United States, Florida
Nationality: Irish/Italian/Scandinavian, but I swear in Tagalog and eat everything with a spoon, which my wife claims makes me an honorary Filipino.
Political Compass Result: see above
Where do you put yourself on the political spectrum: Fiscally conservative, socially moderate
Do you indentify yourself with a certain political grouping (socialist, neocon, etc): Nope
Do you indentify yourself with a certain political party: Republican-ish, but soured by the social conservative movement.
Religion: Agnostic
Life Philosophy: Live and let live, unless they step on my toes

Abortion: Should be legal but alternatives need to be strongly supported and available
War in Iraq: Strongly against originally, now in favor of seeing through to the best conclusion possible
Afghanistan: Completely different situation - necessary, and a must-win for both us and the Afghans
Marijuana: Should be legalized in place of alcohol and tobacco, both of which are associated with far worse physiologically and behavioral consequences
Drugs in General: Legalized, and heavily laced with sterilization agents and nerve toxins - survival of the least stupid, please.
Firearms: Federalized (and consistent) legalization of regulated possession for semi-automatic long arms and handguns with psychological evaluation, federal concealed carry rules consistent across all 50 states.
Education: Needs to be accountable to scientific standards of good practice. Teachers unions need to go away, and pay should be directly based on student, parent, and peer reviews coupled with test scores
Imperialism: It's important that superpowers retain the right and inclination to assist nations in peril, but must also be allowed to serve own self-interest when necessary.
Communism: A wonderful concept invented by people who never actually had a job. Completely ineffective in the face of human nature. In practice, virtually synonymous with despotism.
Socialism: communism without the guns - or the organization.
Capitalism: The best of a bunch of bad systems, but requires consistent and vigilant governmental oversight.
Gay Marriage: Sure, let 'em be miserable too.
Gay adoption: Can't be worse than most natural parents.
Religion in schools: No. No. Did I say "no" yet?
Religious Attitude: Religion is a great way of controlling stupid people in the short term. Unfortunately in the long term the inmates take over the asylum and you get organized religions, which are almost universally a blight on humanity.
Death penalty: Against, solely for practical reasons. It's cheaper to lock em up for life, and once in a while the justice system gets it wrong. Better to be able to apologize and release a wronged individual. On the other hand, I advocate high-end 3rd world style prison conditions (no cable TV, limits on health care).
Obama: A historical and cultural landmark. Good intentions, but a too-ambitious agenda up against essentially impossible odds.
UN: A useful hand-puppet for the great powers, but completely unable to achieve anything of use.
Patriotism/Nationalism: I'm proud to be an American, I'm just not proud of everyone else who is.
Israel: Pro, generally. They're like a really nasty dog that doesn't like anybody but us, and chews on our enemies so we don't have to. They're thugs, though, and I don't care for their religious right (makes ours look warm and fuzzy by comparison). And am I the only person who's confused as to why it's in the middle east and not, say, Bavaria? That would certainly have addressed the moral issue of its establishment.
Palestine: Seriously, what the hell would they do if they *did* get their country back? They can't even run a *fake* government.
Global Warming: Seems like the preponderance of the evidence supports climate change. I'm worried, but I'm also hoping to have beachfront property here in Orlando in a generation or so. Hopefully, Disney will also wind up underwater.
Genetically Modified Crops: Pro, but legacy strains and biodiversity must be carefully preserved.
Organic Foods: Seems to miss the point. The point should be safe food, not a pseudo-religious yuppie political fetish.
Animals: Delicious. Except for dogs and dolphins, who should be genetically engineered to talk and have thumbs.
China: A fairly benign despotism, slowly arcing towards capitalism and democracy. Be friendly, but let 'em know every time they cross the line.
Russia: Increasingly despotic, with the cooperation of a populace who desperately want to be told what to do by a strongman so they can get back to breaking the law and victimizing each other.
EU: Remember the joke about heaven being the place where the police are british, the cooks are italian, the lovers are french, and it's all organized by the germans? Well, this is the other half of the joke.
Healthcare: Completely useless without provisions to bring down provider costs. This isn't about evil insurance companies, appealing as that answer is - it's about inefficient treatment and an excessive level of spending on pointless end-of-life care.
Law: Keep order in the streets, the enemy away from the gates, an eye on corporations and wall street, provide for the truly dysfunctional, and let individual people be responsible for the rest.
Torture: Ultimately counterproductive in most cases (not to mention ethically shady). So in summary, not acceptable behavior by any nation. On the other hand, if I had to rescue my daughter from a gang of rapists and had to find out where they were from a gang member, I'd happily saw off his fingers one at a time with a bandsaw and stuff them into his various orifices (yes, I can see you counting out there - just remember, doubling up *is* possible in *every* case). So unacceptable in principle, but occasionally useful in practice. Just not okay institutionally.
Science vs Ethics: Both important. We need ethicists to tell us when we're creating monsters, but philosophers don't produce vaccines or airplanes. And please, please keep the church out of both.
