I planned for this to be about homemaking and homeschooling, but now it's just a chaotic jumble of news and ideas about animals, kids, food, and other random thoughts.

Libertarian?


According to this quiz, I'm a conservative-leaning libertarian. I would be more libertarian if it weren't for the whole "legalize marijuana" issue they seem to overemphasize. Actually, I'd love to vote for some candidates in the Constitution Party if I could find some.

You are no libertarian. The Libertarian Party is very opened minded about all issues. You are very closed minded on most issues.

Actually, I think that libertarianism would work well in our society if we still had our Christian foundation. Since it is mostly eroded, I don't think any system really can keep us from either anarchy or authoritarianism as a logical outcome of our current system.

As far as being close-minded: everyone who has an opinion is close-minded. If you believe one thing, it means you don't believe other options can possibly be true. People who have no opinion are the only ones who could claim to have an open mind (even then we all have biases).

Can you tell I've been reading Francis Schaeffer?

Having an opinion does not necessarily mean a person has to be "close-minded." People can have their own opinions and still be realistic enough to admit that just maybe theirs is not always the correct one(or only correct one). After all, that's why it's called an opinion rather that a fact.
