Compass Results: Economic Left/Right, Social Libertarian/Authoritan: I don't agree with the scaling of that model. I am uniting all four poles in my thinking, sometimes in their extremes - it depends on the issue being focussed on

Personal political views: democracy works only up to a given size of a community, and beyond that detoriates in effectiveness. Communities of a large scale are governed more efficiently by feudal structures. both democracy and feudal system are vulnerable to corruption and abuse by those in power. both do not free you from the need of having good men available for posts and offices. Elections are no guarantee for competence and honesty.

Do you include yourself in a political party?: Today: unimaginable. In my past: for a very short while - near the end and short after school (conservative youth organization)

War in Iraq: Against. No war of need, but a war of choice. Counterproductive in it's results. In other words: stupid.

Legalizing Marijuana: there are pro's and con's. Undecided, but slightly against it.

Abortion: leave the decision to the individual case's protagonists, and keep your curious little nose out of businesses that are not yours

Gun Control: yes. but if you want to battle violent crime by that alone, you will fail. So: more is needed than just gun control, it is just one necessary step.

Powers of central authority: a necessary but potentially harmful evil. where there is power centralised, there is growing corruption of power. You cannot evade it, but you can control the speed of it's distortion. Don't trust it blindly, and countercontrol it.

European Union: as it once was meant: pro; but like it now is being enforced and what it is heading for: contra

Gay marriage/adoption: strictly against. the institution of heterosexual ordinary families must be kept in noticable higher esteem by the community, for reasons of vital self-interests of the community.

Death penalty: against. the term is a logical contradiction in itself. By this I do not exclude the legal killing of certain types of major criminals who could continue to order crimes from within prison. but these are special cases, not representing any rule by routine.

Religion in schools: strictly against. the state has the duty to guarantee that religion and state's institutions and schools are kept strictly separate. I am strictly secular. Don't pose a problem to me, and you don't get a problem with me. Bother me with your oh so precious religion, and I bite with force and without further warning. I'm simply not interested in your religion and your scritpures or anyone else's, and I despise both dogma and scripture. If you expect me needing to take note of your religious practicing, expect serious trouble with me. Keep thy religion to thyself, and at home.
