@center Welcome to
@center @G{THE WORLD'S SMALLEST POLITICAL QUIZ}
@center @c{Help for the politically homeless!}
What's your position on the political map? The old ways of looking at
politics doen't work anymore. You really do have more options than
the one-dimensional choice between "left" and "right". Find out who
in the world of politics agrees with you. Take this short quiz.
@before You've taken this quiz before. Your new scores will replace the old ones.

@center @c{WHAT IT MEANS...}
The compass measures self-government. Liberals (@r{LEF}) value freedom of
expression. Conservatives (@b{CON}) value free enterprise. Libertarians
(@g{LIB}) value both. Authoritarians (@m{AUT}) are against both. Here's
the distribution of the %NN people who have taken this quiz here so far,
personal scores up the side and economic scores across the bottom.
@scattergram
If your BBS is typical, half the responses will be in the upper right quadrant.

@screen lib_screen
@libertarian
@center @c{JOIN OUR AMERICAN REVOLUTION?}
You scored in the Libertarian region (@g{LIB}) or on its borderline, so
you've probably found that the policies and platforms of the older,
traditional political parties are, in one way or another, unacceptable
to you -- and you may have felt @c{"politically homeless"}. We hope that
you, like many others who have felt this same way, will contact the
@g{Libertarian Party}, the party that advocates individual freedom,
personal responsibility, and limited government, in all areas of our lives.
The @g{Libertarian Party of the United States} may be reached by calling
@c{1-800-682-1776}, by writing to @c{1528 Pennsylvania Ave. SE, Washington DC}
@c{20003}, or by sending electronic mail to @c{76177.2310@@COMPUSERVE.COM}.
They'll be happy to send you free information on the Libertarian
Party, and also tell you how to contact your state party. That way,
you can find people in your local area who feel the same way you do
about political issues, and work together with them to bring about
change in government to realize libertarian ideals.

@authoritarian
@center @c{AUTHORITARIAN}
Your scores indicate that you are an authoritarian. That is, you answered
as if you believe that people need to be controlled for their own good, or for
some goal you believe to be more important than freedom or happiness. You are
broadly opposed to both personal and economic freedom.
This political orientation is rare in Americans, and extremely rare in BBS
users. If you are serious about it, we recommend you read William L. Shirer's
"The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich" and Alexander Solzhenytsin's "The Gulag
Archipelago" to see where it leads.
@exitprompt
@endscreen NULL
@screen con_screen
@conservative
@center @c{CONSERVATIVE}
Your scores suggest that you hold beliefs similar to most American
conservatives. That is, broadly speaking, you value economic freedom
but believe government must and should exert more control over the
personal choices of individuals.
@exitprompt
@endscreen NULL
@screen cen_screen
@centrist
@center @c{CENTRIST}
Your scores suggest that you either have no particular political ideology
or one which consciously seeks compromise and the "middle-of-the-road" position
on most issues.
@exitprompt
@endscreen NULL
@screen lef_screen
@left-liberal
@center @c{LEFT LIBERAL}
Your scores suggest that you hold beliefs similar to most American
left-liberals. That is, broadly speaking, you value personal freedom
but believe that the government must and should exert more control over
economic activity.
