One can be a "lefty" politically, but that could encompass all the way from communists to anarchists and there is little to show those views being similar.<BR/><BR/>An MO could possibly be almost anywhere on the graph, but realistically you could find them anywhere on the right-hand side.Orthopraxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11649055168953784384noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10333247.post-1141092648802013172006-02-27T21:10:00.000-05:002006-02-27T21:10:00.000-05:00Smoo,"Let's see where your grid takes us."I'm thin...Smoo,<BR/><BR/>"Let's see where your grid takes us."<BR/><BR/>I'm thinking about making some sort of quiz, kinda like thw one you see for the "World's Smallest Political Quiz."

I had that consideration in mind, but I just didn't think many people would catch onto the ambiguity of the term "dogmatic" as you have.<BR/><BR/>Maybe "traditional dogmatic" would have been more in line what I was looking for, but even here it's hard to pin down specifics.Orthopraxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11649055168953784384noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10333247.post-1141092107030444772006-02-27T21:01:00.001-05:002006-02-27T21:01:00.001-05:00Happy,"which quadrant is 1,2,3 and 4I dont see a l...Happy,<BR/><BR/>"which quadrant is 1,2,3 and 4<BR/>I dont see a label."<BR/><BR/>Oh, sorry.
