According to this test we are politically the exact same.

I'm a social liberal and, less pronouncedly, an economic conservative. That makes me a Democratic-leaning Libertarian, which I knew already :P I'm on the extreme upper left-hand corner of the enormous head of the black guy I don't recognize on the right side of the picture.

Is that MLK? Wow, I'm awful for not knowing that. :(

This test is not very good; many of the questions aren't nuanced enough. Example: "If a company invents a pill that cures cancer, they should be allowed to charge whatever they want for it." I know what the question is getting at, but it ignores the important issues like patenting and monopoly.

Also there are some weird questions, too: voting for the illiterate? Legality of dueling?? The feasibility of AI??? My favorite question: "Books with potentially deadly knowledge (like instructions for making awesome bombs) should be regulated." Fuck yeah, dude, bombs are awesome!!

That said, i got Social Liberal (71% permissive) and Economic Liberal (35% permissive).
