>Bill Clinton was really on. I hope not too much, because it's a lot to expect any politician to live up to that. The main point was that we have a choice to make. Which of those two do you agree with more?

It's a shame that the choice is not "which of the Presidential candidates do you agree with more" showing only policy positions and not the name or party. Then we might see President Gary Johnson. <s>

This is actually kind of interesting. if you take the test be sure you look at the results to see exactly how your positions match up with the candidates. I was frankly surprised by my results.

Though a good deal is too strange to be believed, nothing is too strange to have happened.
- Thomas Hardy

Half the harm that is done in this world is due to people who want to feel important. They don't mean to do harm-- but the harm does not interest them. Or they do not see it, or they justify it because they are absorbed in the endless struggle to think well of themselves.

-- T. S. Eliot
Democracy is two wolves and a sheep voting on what to have for lunch.
Liberty is a well-armed sheep contesting the vote.
- Ben Franklin

Pardon him, Theodotus. He is a barbarian, and thinks that the customs of his tribe and island are the laws of nature.
