(not having a camera is no excuse to not make a video! If you have Windows Movie Maker, you can slap some text together.)

NOTE:
I'm not trying to say that one should place too much stock in the results of this particular test, or any other one. One could certainly make the case that there aren't enough questions, and/or the questions are worded poorly, etc. Use it as a springboard for discussion/reflection.

If you know of other tests like this, link me, and I'll include them here.

the "original" survey (regarding this particular "contest"):
http://www.selectsmart.com/president/2008.html

other survey(s):
http://www.dehp.net/candidate/


my response:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RD5v9SOkAZY



post your results, and I'll pick one person randomly* to get one of the books off my shelf. If you live outside of the continental United States, I'll split the shipping with you and/or get you something from Amazon, I guess. :P


Choices are:

The Art of War by Sun Tzu
A Brief History of Time by Stephen Hawking
The God Delusion by Richard Dawkins (hardcover or paperback)
The Selfish Gene 30th Anniversary Edition by Richard Dawkins
The Origin of Species by Charles Darwin
The Atheists Are Revolting! by Nick Gisburne
Dune by Frank Herbert
Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency by Douglas Adams

No, there isn't really a connection between the election and any of these books. It's just a random fun thing to do to encourage what I think is a good idea.

Please make a response even if you don't want a book!



cdk007 video that inspired this:

*The drawing will be weighted towards video responses. Every video response will get 5 "entries" (ie slips of paper that I will draw from a box). If you post your results in text, that gets you 1 "entry".

When I do the drawing will depend on my schedule and the pace of incoming responses. It would be election day at the very latest. ;D

I will make it clear via video annotations and an update to this description box when the contest is over.

Here are my results from that second survey I listed:

86 Kucinich Disagreements: (1) Border Fence
Unknowns/Other: (0)

66 Clinton Disagreements: (3) Death Penalty, Patriot Act, Same-Sex Marriage

64 Gravel Disagreements: (1) Border Fence

I don't carry one (no concealed permit), but there is more than one weapon in my home. Our gun-related deaths are tragic, yes. But I think we're too far "over the cliff" at this point in terms of "market penetration" and the moral zeitgeist of Texans for the outright ban of handguns to be feasible (IF that is a good option). The best you can hope for is intelligent regulation (background checks etc).

atmac17

Okay. Two more questions. Do YOU personally carry a firearm? And what do you think of the high rate of firearm deaths in AMERICA, whereas Canada has much less murders per capita because of banned handguns?

RabidApe

Guns: The short answer is "yes". Self-defense, etc etc, but it's complicated. Example: I'm having a hard time deciding whether or not I think it's a good idea to allow concealed weapons (w/permits, background checks etc) on college campuses. I can see promise and peril either way. Death penalty: NO! Our justice system is far from perfect, and I think the possibility of mistakenly executing an innocent person is too great a risk.

atmac17

RabidApe, Just a quickie, As a Texan, do you support gun carrying and capital punishment?

rukeyser

dude. do you do Goodreads or only video-life. lotsa true un/believers there:->!

MadMacISmad

Interesting results. I was interested in Ron Paul and Dennis Kucinich at the beginning of this election. The obvious choice is Obama/Biden for me.

1. Theoretical Ideal Candidate (100%)
2. Ron Paul (concedes nomination not possible)
3. Barack Obama
6. Hillary Clinton (defeated, endorsed Obama)
11. Joseph Biden (withdrawn)
12. Dennis Kucinich (withdrawn)
21. John McCain

Alright, I admit it, I'm a moron and an asshole. Last night, I didn't notice the link at the top of the ad pages until I hit the last page. Today, I checked out the poll again and saw the link right away.

I apologize for being such an ass. I definitely earned #4.

My response is yours, friend <3 *pokes*

RabidApe

1) I recorded the video as I went through the list FOR THE FIRST TIME, and had no idea there would be ads. 2) Plenty of people, myself included, managed to figure out how to get to the results 3) If you know of a similar poll that sucks less, you are invited to share it with us (as noted in the video description) 4) Fuck you, too /rant

Leetdewd

I dig your videos, RabidApe, but I have to add a sincere "Fuck You" for directing people to a poll that requires you to click through a bunch of pages with ads just to see their results. I think that's a very shitty thing for all involved (you, the poll creator, and the poll hoster). Do you or you friend get a cut of the ad revenue? Is that why the poll is hosted there? I know you're broke, but that doesn't mean you have to resort to those kinds of gimmicks. At least be up front about it.

Theycallmetomu

Huh. I got Nader as being higher than Bob Barr. I guess I'm really liberal in this election. My first choice was actually Kuccinich, though he's only 9th on my matches (probably the "I'd prefer someone new" thing. That, and they didn't have a question for "Do you think Cheney should fry for what he's done" position. Heh.) Barack Obama was at 76%

Ralph Nader (79%) 5. Cynthia McKinney (73%) 19. Mike Huckabee (withdrawn) (28%) 20. John McCain (25%) Odd that I match with Obama as much as Nader, and that I match more with Huckabee than McCain.

adamabra8

Indeed! Also, many of the questions I put neither or left the boxes unchecked, because I didn't know very much about the issue or it didn't seem relevant.

Yup. That's the reason I posted this! Those results don't necessarily mean that Ron Paul isn't "your candidate". This is perhaps cause for further investigation and/or reflection. :P
