Jim Eyer pointed out to me the fact that the quiz
changes periodically in response to political winds. I
personally haven't checked that out. He has come up
with his own version, using the rationale that since
the Advocates change it at will, why can't the
Libertarians?

That's really interesting. I just compared the
current version to the
version I have printed on a card, and the changes
are rather subtle
and hard to notice. And the website not only makes
no mention of a
revision to the quiz, it specifies that it is "the
ORIGINAL Internet
Political Quiz". It seems to me they should specify
that the quiz has
been revised, particularly since they quote various
organizations who
commented on the older version.--Sandy Pierre
