Your score is on a scale of 0 to 100, with 0 being fully liberal and 100 being fully conservative.

Ok, so there are my results. I can honestly say that I am not suprised by my results at all. I am definitely not a Liberal, and I do consider myself moderately conservative. I don't really support all of the programs we have to help certain groups of people. I tend to agree more with the Republican side of things. That is why I definitely call myself a Republican, through and through.

On most issues, at least the ones described in the quiz, I don't really have a stance at this point. The issues that are the most important to me are gay rights, abortion, and immigration. I believe that people of the homosexual orientation should be allowed Civil Unions, but that they should not be allowed to wed. I also believe that abortion should remain legal under the condition that there are more strict regulations. Lastly, the number of illegal aliens in our country is outrageous! There most definitely needs to be more regulations and security in regard to this matter. So ya, that's about it.....later!

Alright, so in Thomas Friedman's book, The World is Flat, he basically discusses how technology has created a level playing field for everyone worldwide. This means that people in India, China, and other foreign countries are getting the same opportunities that we as Americans are. This should be a good thing right? Well, in some ways it is I suppose, but in many ways this "flattening" is going to make it harder for all Americans in the future to get the jobs they want. I definitely agree with Thomas Friedman that the world is flat. You can see this just in the number of companies now outsourcing to China and India. Pretty soon, there won't be many "all-American" companies in the U.S. People from other countries are ready and willing to work with a higher degree for less pay. That means trouble for us. We Americans are going to have to start getting our acts together, or the jobs that were once ours will be given to someone who will truly work for it.

To be completely honest, I can't remember anything about my school day on the day of September 11. It had been just like any other day. The one thing I do remember was coming home and complaining to my mother about how hot the walk home had been and how far it had seemed. She was watching the news and I could tell it was some big story. She then proceeded to tell me that I should shut up about the walk and suck it up because thousands of people had died that day. I then started watching the news with her and learned what had happened. I figured our teachers hadn't told us in order to not start a panic. At that time I didn't really understand who was doing this to the country or why or that there was a possibility of war. I did what any normal third grader would've done. I felt sorry for a few minutes and then went outside to play.
