Economic Left/Right: -8.88
Libertarian/Authoritarian: -8.10

Not bad. Interesting that Pope John Paul II ranks in the same region as Saddam Hussein, Robert Mugabe and Yasser Arafat. Actually, folks here will wonder why that is surprising to me at all, and after careful contemplation.... hmm....
ROFLMAO. I guess I know why I'm not Catholic now, since I'm further down the Libertarian scale, though not quite as economically liberal (I don't trust the state or big business with control of the economy...so, umm...I got no idea who should be in control).
