I'm particulary interested in these two sides of the spectrum.

damn.  now that I've seen it I must admit I'm a tad surprised too.

I asume you'd have expected the rightists/small govt types to be overwhelmingly YES and the leftists/large govt types to be mostly NO.  Shows how little we know.  Anyway, don't get discouraged, Vorlon can tell you a lot of this has to do with your wording (And the odd choices.)  Let folks forget about it, wait a few months, then ask something like, "I believe in the innate benevolence of mankind"

ok, I'm waiting for you to admit you were wrong and that libertarians aren't the naive dolts you make us to be.

No, people are innately evil. If there's a chance people will do whatever it takes to get themselves ahead and screw other people over.

This is very true.

No/Libertarian

Unfortunately, human history shows that we are cruel to each other far more than we are kind. I wish it weren't true but it is. Its survival of the fittest I suppose, and there is no room in that scenario for helping others along.

And I voted Libertarian b/c I consider myself a libertarian on social issues.

I should have provided other options then.
