Cool.. so we actually kinda agree on this?For there is [another] kind of violence, slower but just as deadly, destructive as the shot or the bomb in the night. This is the violence of institutions -- indifference, inaction, and decay. This is the violence that afflicts the poor, that poisons relations between men because their skin has different colors. - Bobby Kennedy (Mindless Menance of Violence)

Well I guess our agreement would be limited to the economy. I am a supporter of a little more control on individual freedom...
Aznar.. yeah he is a great leader. I agree with what the government did in closing down the newspaper of that one seperatist party....For there is [another] kind of violence, slower but just as deadly, destructive as the shot or the bomb in the night.

I'm a bit left of Fez, but right of everyone else.
In Canada they would call me a fiscal and social conservative.
However, I'm a pacifist, which places me far to the left, so overall, I end up dead centreScouse Git (2) La Fayette Adam Smith Solomwi and Loinburger will not be forgotten.

I would be right wing in Brazil and left wing in America. Brazil has plenty of ultra left-wings that believe that the "international speculators" corrupted the coutry, like Hitler blamed "jewish bankers" for corrupting Germany. That makes me sick. I do believe that the state shouldn´t mess with non essential things (e.g. be a socialist with capitalist clothes and subsidy agricuture and steel industries), and I hate deficts... so I´m an economic right wing. I like a lot of stuff related to american culture, and agree with their vision about democracy.
I believe that americans should remember that France has a trauma of war deeper than the trauma americans have with terrorism. In fact, justifing a war towards Iraq based on their evil regime sounds as bad as using a dictatorship as an excuse to blow up embassies using suicide bombers. That´s plain wrong, even if the embassies actually belonged to an evil regime.
Bah, I shouldn´t have brought in this subject. Let´s wait ten years, then we will see if Bush was right. Right now is just speculation.

Closing down the separatist newspaper didnt change the minds of anyone - an anti government newspaper is a manifestation of the people's feelings and by closing it, you arnt changing their minds."Everything for the State, nothing against the State, nothing outside the State" - Benito Mussolini

I am not for socialism. Never will be. I don't think it is possible. I think it is a system that can be easily corrupted and turned upside down. We saw this with Argentina. 500,000 public workers that have to be fired because they can't be paid anymore, a bankrupt health system...
No, in all senses, free market capitalism with adequate law enforcement and provisions is the best system.

I think the Spanish Government must prevail in this. Spain must stay together. The anti-government wasn't even liked.For there is [another] kind of violence, slower but just as deadly, destructive as the shot or the bomb in the night.

Yeah Ive heard about the ETA - my friend is Basque and he talks about that alot. He's pro independance, anti - ETA, and very patriotic. When I mentioned Indurain, and said he was Spanish, my friend corrected me and said he was Basque."Everything for the State, nothing against the State, nothing outside the State" - Benito Mussolini

I suppose I'd be considered left-wing by most. I think I'm more of a centrist, in Canadian terms, though (In America, I'd definitely be left).
That is: I'm against the gun registry, but not gun control. I'm for senate reform. I value health care and the social safety net.
As for my 'ideal government'... I'd have to say capitalism, tempered with social programs. Keynesian economics, baby!

I have no idea who I'll vote for when the next election rolls around. Definitely not the Grits, and definitely not the Alliance. So it's down to the Tories or the NDP. My ideology seems to match up with the NDP the best, but they frighten me a little. Svend Robinson's anti-Israeli views, especially. The Tories just seem like a nothing party, but if they want to keep health care & welfare, but scrap the gun registry and reform the senate, I'll vote for whatever leader they can scrounge up."I wrote a song about dental floss but did anyone's teeth get cleaner?" -Frank Zappa
