A family of commies! :)

I'm libertarian right -- all by myself with no equivalent famous figures in the category.

Wetkarma.

Sssshhh. Michael Moore's libertarian left too, I'm just not too proud of that one. I figure if they've got Saddam & the pope in the same quadrant (is that the word? they're both authoritarian left) then it's ok to have one weirdo with you and doesn't mean you're the same. Hopefully I have more in common with Gandhi than Michael Moore!!!! Or at least, hopefully it's a stretch BOTH ways. :P

Dad's probably authoritarian right. So when we don't agree with you, he will.

but in fairness, saddam's way more extreme (both ways) thn the pope.

Who's Friedman? You've got Friedman, Tchaikovsky, Chopin (composer's info just for amusement I think)

Your recommended reading includes Machiavelli, Hobbes, and Margaret Thatcher.

Friedman is a nobel prize winning economist. His work has strongly influenced current US fiscal policy and has pretty much been the foundation stone for the economic policies of s. america (with mixed results).

Good company to be compared to ;)
