- I should have a copy of that quiz the Libertarians like to pass
- around, but I don't. Perhaps some other libertarian minded person
- (Brett'? Andy?) could post it...
-
- I think that Caius would find that quiz very interesting, and I think
- that the list might benefit from a consideration of the points it
- raises.
-
- The basic idea here is that the 'left-right' spectrum is simply
- inadequate to really classify the varieties of political belief.
-
- My own judgement of Caius is that he should be classified as
- socially conservative, politically libertarian. He perhaps
- fails to realize that the differences between the position of the
- right and his own position are quite enormous.
-
- He's promised us that he will calm down, and I hope that he will.
- Otherwise, when I return from my vacation, I'm apt to find the rest
- of you turned into a bunch of raving totalitarians!
