The Political Compass

I found a site that has a test you can take which will measure where you are on the political compass. The idea is that the traditional left/right political scale only accurately measures economics, so they’ve made created a compass that has social politics on an up-down scale.

Goodbye $25 decades-lasting driver’s license; hello evil expensive eight-years-only National ID

National RFID tags connected to the unabridged demographic data collected by surveys/contests/malware/credit cards/census (sold to the US Federal government for trillions of taxpayers’ dollars and heralded as “National Security”)? *I am not a conspiracy theorist
