"Wall Street helps the American economy more than it hurts"

[Clipper Nation]

Unsurprisingly, I graded out as a libertarian, tbh...

[Th'Pusher]

9% of the population, but 50% of the respondents in this thread. Go figure.

[tlongII]

I identify with libertarian viewpoints more than any other.

[ElNono]

Post-Modern as well.

Shocking.

Questions asked were crap, incidentally. I would identify myself as a solid liberal, so the results worked out, but the questions were just binaries that didn't in any way reflect the complexity of the issues they were meant to deal with. The government is super awesome v. government is super sucky set, especially.

[Jacob1983]

What the does buying organic foods have to do with political preferences?

[CosmicCowboy]

What the does buying organic foods have to do with political preferences?

It's a great indicator.

If you can be suckered into paying 3X the price of regular milk for "organic" milk you can be suckered into anything.

[DUNCANownsKOBE]

I buy organic but within reason , organic milk is one thing I don't touch. It costs a lot more and it tastes gross.

Willard Romney is a big fan of organic food tbh.

[scroteface]

I'm pretty sure organic vs non organic both come from Pablo's same farm and no one is really checking the difference down there in mexico before they ship it here

[DMC]

What a in stupid poll that only has black/white answers.

Exactly. It points you one way or the other and I didn't feel strongly about any of the choices. For example, I think military force is required to maintain peace, but overwhelming military presence actually causes unrest.

There's no "non-partisan" group.
