The Unwasted Life

Knowing that I am not a heretic, I decided to review my standing on The Political Compass.

Back in 2005

Economic Left/Right: 3.63
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -0.56

Today, Feb 20, 2008

Economic Left/Right: 3.88
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: 0.36

So it looks like I am basically consistent here, although slightly more authoritarian.

What bothers me however is where I fall in comparison to the 2008 Presidential Primary field. Can the individuals behind The Political Compass really get an accurate score from speechs, policy papers, and voting records? I am really that different than most Republicans? I know that I have very little in common with the Democrats. I wish there were concrete scores available for the candidates. None of the candidates that I know of has taken the test and posted his/her score on the web. Maybe Lessig can post his if he decides to run for Congress.

How can I be closer to Hillary than Huckabee, let alone my preferred candidate Fred Thompson? Something is not right here. I just cannot figure out where yet, I dug through my Camino cache and printed out my answers to all the questions. Maybe I can learn something by reviewing them again. Who knows.

What about you, where do you score?

If you played for Brazil, What would your name be? Find out with Brazilname which will generate a Brazilian football nickname for you, based on your real name. You can also print off a football shirt bearing your BrazilName. Here’s mine:

Ever Google yourself? You probably should to see what is out there. As of today (February 20, 2006), the listing for the texas blog is 6th under “eric wallace“.

ericwallace.org is no where to be found, so I need to work on that!
