Now that I have your attention, I'll tell you that the danger is because this post contains politics.
When I posted my long essay which talked about Discordia, I was very surprised at the amount and nature of the response I got. I had always thought of this community as a rather conservative one, but that thread did not support the theory. At this point I really don't know what to expect for this crowd.
So, what I thought I'd do, is ask you to take the test over at Political Compass and report back with your scores. This isn't very long (it takes at most 10 minutes or so). Some of the questions are deliberately loaded - the intention of that is to see if you answer the same way to an "impartial" question as to an "emotional" one.
Hopefully this isn't too off-topic. And in penance, I'll go first:
I'm in the wacko quadrant, bottom right, where none of the example world leaders are. I'm either a genius, horribly mislead, or just an idiot.
Economic Left/Right: 1.50
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -4.15
