The Political Compass
Pastorio posted a link to the Political Compass page & quiz in misc.writing earlier today.
I'd sworn off any more quizzes for the day, but couldn't remember what results I had the last time I took this quiz a year or two or three ago and couldn't find the results in my archives. ... so ... I took the quiz again.
I wound up in the same general area (Economic Left/Right: -3.50; Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -5.64) that I had before -- almost smack dab 'longside the Dalai Lama but with just a tad squeeze more Social Libertarian tilt.
Harwood said he'd changed his Republican party membership after decades. Made me stop and think, but I decided yesterday, after much havering, against joining that caravan when I realized that if I changed my registration, I wouldn't be able to vote for Republican candidates in the primaries and offset the votes from the wingnuts kitty-corner on the grid.

Bertold Brecht:
Everything changes. You can make
A fresh start with your final breath.
But what has happened has happened. And the water
You once poured into the wine cannot be
Drained off again.
