mmmm. loaded phrasing.

i'm looking at the "see, no, really, you're actually all libertarians" online political quiz.

"The growing fusion between information and entertainment is a worrying contribution to the public's shrinking attention span."

oooh oooh oooh. i love presumptive questioning.

huh. i wonder if that is also due to the british nature of the quiz, since libertarians there are a different breed than the big-L Libertarians here. although there's an overlap, i think, with the small-l libertarians here.

I've seen this test before, and I think it's a pretty good one. The questions are deliberately strong in order to provoke a response, as someone else already said.

The fact that many people you know score libertarian on social issues is not surprising, since that's how they actually are.

I score left libertarian, exactly where I'd place myself. I'm pretty much in the same location as "Red" Ken Livingstone, the Mayor of London.
