Bah
The results I got from this tells me two things. My political beliefs are still as mixed as ever, and they've actually changed substantially since the last time I took a test like this.
Here's the result:
1. Your ideal theoretical candidate. (100%)
2. Libertarian Candidate (66%)
3. Edwards, Senator John, NC - Democrat (48%)
4. Gephardt, Rep. Dick, MO - Democrat (47%)
5. Dean, Gov. Howard, VT - Democrat (46%)
6. Bush, President George W. - Republican (44%)
7. Kucinich, Rep. Dennis, OH - Democrat (42%)
8. Sharpton, Reverend Al - Democrat (38%)
9. Clark, Retired General Wesley K., AR - Democrat (34%)
10. Kerry, Senator John, MA - Democrat (34%)
11. LaRouche, Lyndon H. Jr. - Democrat (30%)
12. Lieberman, Senator Joe, CT - Democrat (29%)
13. Moseley-Braun, Former Senator Carol, IL - Democrat (24%)
14. Phillips, Howard - Constitution (22%)
Ain't that just grand? In theory, there's a libertarian candidate somewhere with whom I might agree 66 percent of the time, but we all know that it's unlikely that this theoretical libertarian probably won't win a presidential race. So, I'm stuck with either the freako Democrats, or the freako Republicans--with whom I might agree *LESS THAN HALF THE TIME*.
What's wrong with this picture?
Why should I have to choose between the lesser of two evils, when it comes to voting for a president? Am I the only one who runs into this problem? Sheesh.
FUCK!
Arrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrgh!
Long time readers of my livejournal will remember when I lost the stone out of my ring back in May of 2002.
Well, guess what?
In fidgeting a few minutes ago, I realized that IT HAPPENED AGAIN.
And, interestingly, it happened in about the same time frame--a year and five months or so after I got the damn thing, the stone popped out. And here we are about a year and five months after I got the thing back from the jeweler, and poof, there it went again.
Last time, I was just sick to my stomach about the whole thing. This time, I still have that, but I'm also really fucking pissed off. I have never, ever had such problems with jewelry before. Arrg.

Perhaps taking it to a different jeweler this time is in order. :/
Posted by: Jason at December 4, 2003 08:46 AMEEEK! About the ring, and I second the notion of going to a different jeweler.
About the political foo...well, I think it's pretty normal for most reasonably well-educated reasonably aware people to have similar issues. I know I do, though probably for different reasons, and every year it's a choice between voting my conscious and voting for someone who has a chance of winning and perhaps making /some/ change or doing /some/ good. Not that this is at all helpful, but at least you're not alone.
