Hey, I'm not grizzled.

(Actually, that might be the only one that really describes me)

I put individual over society
Government should provide services
Economy should be market driven

But on the services one, I wasn't sure to what extent you meant, but I do believe that healthcare should be universal.

Noooo! Now it's too difficult. I want to answer 'both' to everything.

Then go ahead...I would take that to mean you want a blend.

Same here. I voted options #2, #4, and #7. But I think that individuals and private companies are responsible for some services, while the government is responsible for others. I think that for healthcare, the government should provide some healthcare for those who can't afford it, but permit private companies to facilitate healthcare for those who can afford it. We have such a system in Ireland.

Oh. Yeah. That. Yeah, I'll do that then.

*Does just that. Feels a bit dumb.*

#'s 2, 5, and 7. But both government and individual should be responsible for services, and the economy should be partially market-driven and partially managed. I just went with the option I felt most strongly towards.

Pretty obviously it is a lot better from my point of view.

Individual over society,
Self service
Market

But you already knew that I would guess.

*feigns innocence...then gives it up*
Yeah, I knew that:)

I'm society over individual.
I voted for government to provide services, but I like a blend in some things.
Controlled market.

I doubt anyone is suprised.

do you have ANY idea how hard it was not to pick all of them >_<

I had my eye on you...

I favor a mixed economy in which government is responsible only for those services which private enterprise cannot effectively perform. Since no individual can be totally independent, there must be a balance between the needs of the individual and the needs of society as a whole.

I'm an anarcho-communist.
