SHEEP POLITICS

Pops of 2hrlunch has an, um, interesting take on his political compass score:

Per the quiz that goes with the chart – I’m a left leaning semi-libertarian. I think that means that I think whatever adults want to do with sheep in the privacy of their own home is OK as long as the gummint pays for it. Or it could mean that I want the gummint to get out of the way and let the market provide the sheep for consenting adults.

I’m so confused.

(Hat tip: Brad DeLong, who has an entirely different obsession with sheep)
