NW-You would feel most at home in the Northwest region. You advocate a large degree of economic and personal freedom. Your neighbors include folks like Ayn Rand, Jesse Ventura, Milton Friedman, and Drew Carey, and may refer to themselves as "classical liberals," "libertarians," "market liberals," "old whigs," "objectivists," "propertarians," "agorists," or "anarcho-capitalist."

NEO, a stereotypical Northwesterner

"Freedom to do whatever you'd like, as long as you don't interfere with the equal freedom of others."

My name is Neo, and I'm a software designer on the NW coast. I usually work from home, or from my sailboat while on an extended cruises. I've got friends of all stripes-some are making a lot of money in the software industry, some are gay, some are economists, some use recreational drugs, some are very religious-what they all have in common is that they're all very open-minded and tolerant.

I tend to be optimistic about the future. I believe that the most important natural resource is human creativity and that people should be able to pursue their hopes and dreams without interference from anyone else. While I recognize the importance of enforcing property rights and contracts, I think that in general, government interference in the marketplace only stifles human creativity. Politically, I describe myself as a libertarian. I loathe paying taxes, I'm disgusted by the "war on drugs," which is really just a war on people, and I think it's certainly true that "there ain't no such thing as a free lunch."

Centerville-You would feel most at home in Centerville, which means that you are more or less pleased the status quo-you think the US government has just about the right amount of control over your economic and personal decisions. Your neighbors include democratic and republican party leaders and others who call themselves "moderates" and "centrists."

I can throw a rock on Drew Carey's house, i'm just south of it, in NW politopia. I think I answered just about every question one notch up from the Libertarian extreme. That's about right for me. Nice to be your neighbor, DreamPiper

I guess the housing market is hot just NW of Drew Carey

For Sale: 1 800 square foot bungalow, features 1 bedroom and an outhouse. A steal at $500,000. 50% down payment required. Common charges are low, only $1,000 per month. Serious inquiries only.

I may have to bag on the party. Once I sell my condo I may move to the South East with my wealth and live off the government for a few years.

NW-You would feel most at home in the Northwest region. You advocate a large degree of economic and personal freedom. Your neighbors include folks like Ayn Rand, Jesse Ventura, Milton Friedman, and Drew Carey, and may refer to themselves as "classical liberals," "libertarians," "market liberals," "old whigs," "objectivists," "propertarians," "agorists," or "anarcho-capitalist."

SW- You would feel most at home in the Southwest region You advocate a large degree of personal freedom and a large degree of government control over the economy. Your neighbors include such folks as Jesse Jackson, Ralph Nader, Hilary Clinton, and Zack de la Rocha of Rage Against the Machine, and may refer to themselves as "liberals," "left-wing liberals," "civil libertarians," "democratic socialists," "egalitarians," or "anarcho-socialists."

West-You are a Westerner-a civil libertarian-which means that you advocate a diminished role for the government in the personal realm. You are more or less pleased the government's role in the economic realm.

So either this quiz is slanted towards the Libertarians or the libertarian leaning members are the only ones weighing in so far.

"Freedom of conscience, freedom of speech, freedom of expression."

My name is Neville. I am an artist and a feminist-well, basically I'm pro-choice on most everything. Everybody should be able to express themselves precisely as they see fit. I mean, if a man wants to dress up in something feminine and elegant and enjoy a few cocktails out on the town, then what's the big deal? If a woman wants to dance in the nude for money, then more power to her. And, even though I simply cannot stand such stuff, if heavy metal guitar players want to scream profanity to the high heavens, then they should turn up those big black amps and just do it. Personally, I see life as a grand opportunity-it's all about exploration and experience. I'm not really interested in economic issues, but I do think that for the most part people are just too materialistic.
