So, of course, I expected after taking this quiz, I'd be right and authoritarian, like most other good, evangelical Christians. Apparently I'm different. I scored .05 on the social scale, which puts me right on the horizantal line, and -3.62 on the LEFT, about a third of the way over from the middle. Who woulda thought? The publicized issues- abortion, gay marriage, and the like- I agree with the right, but if you get down to the philosophy level, maybe I'm more liberal. Maybe the reason I scored further left than I expected was that, economically, I have a pretty idealized idea of economic justice for the poor- and am pretty passionate about it.
I've been having conversations with my mom lately, discovering that I am more liberal than she is. I also question alot more than she does- in my faith and in politics and the world in general. Its probably my scientific, inquisitive mind hard at work. And I think its a good thing to do. I mean, if I really do believe what is true, questioning it won't hurt it. If what I believe is not true, and I question it, and it crumbles, so be it, I've gotten beyond a lie.
In other news, the bonfire at my house was a hit yesterday. Dr Aguilar called during it and said he'd be home the 15th, which works out well, since it has been decided I am moving into Bergwall for a week on the 15th. I met with Gerig's new hall director today in preparation for events next semester through hall council. Lots of exciting stuff. The first events include annual SLIP & SLIDE and TUBING RETREAT. Very fun. If anyone has any new ideas for the year, let me know.
That's all for now.

Economic justice for the poor is the job of the church, not the government.
