in reply to Political alignment of the Perl community [OT]

I don't like that particular quiz alot. (I've taken it before), and come out just barely right wing libertartian, when I know for a fact I'm a full blown tin-foil-hat libertarian.

using the very first question of an example:

"If economic globalisation is inevitable, it should primarily serve humanity rather than the interests of trans-national corporations."

First of all, I think there is an inference in there that you are either for "humanity" or you are for "trans-national corporations" (and therefore against humanity). The question of mutual exclusivity would probably make a fine question in and of itself (and I'm not trying to start an argument about that here ....) but I think its pretty cruddy to sneak in to a test like that

Secondly, is this question asking me to make a prediction about the future (given certain assumptions), or a normative statement in relation to the proper role of government?

anyways ...... I'd bet there is a substantial contingent of both 'flaming liberal' and 'tin-foil-hat libertarians' around here.

    What's the difference?


    our @item = reverse (114, 101, 107, 99, 97, 104, 32, 108, 114, 101, 80, 32, 114, 101, 104, 116, 111, 110, 97, 32, 116, 115, 117, + 74); local $my = reverse ")meti@\ ,rhc (pam tnirp";eval $my;
      The flaming liberals forgot to wear the tin foil hat - duh!
