quote:I voted democrat-shaper and I'll explain why. First, I'm member of a center wing political party in my country (France), so it's not difficult for me to choose the dems. To my standards, dems are center-right where reps are far right (there is no real left-wing in the USA... you're lucky !). So obviously, dems are closer to me. In the way they see economy (targeting efficiency first, but with sometime making compromise to help lower and lower-med class at the cost of a small to medium global decrease in economy efficiency), and in the way they see society (I'm sort of ultra-libertarian on those topic, gay marriage and such). Now, shapers or rebels ? That choice is a though one. Shapers are sort of extrem right, and rebels extrem left. And the whole meaning of my political involvement is to fight extremism, no matter from which side. (extrem nationalists are, imo, as dangerous as communists. If either of these ideology prevail, bye bye freedom, hello poverty. I know there is a lot of french communists on the web so please don't flame me if you are. I only express my personal opinion because it's topic, and I respect yours, and won't debate on this thread). So, which one is the lesser evil ? Being neither center left nor center right but pure center wing, it is a very very tough decision to make. But at the end, I chose extrem right over communism, because I think it's easier to move from an extrem right fascist state to a balanced peaceful yet libertarian state, than from a communist state, which would be too chaotic and too messy to move it to something else, civilisation would have to be rebuilt from scratch. Now that I've explicited my choice, do you still think I'm a "miserable hypocrit" as you said ? Or that I've been brainwashed by "liberal propaganda" (which doesn't make any sense to me in the context since "liberals" means reps-like far right parties in France).

WHAT ? There is actually a Giscad in this game ? Oh my god, I only came here for Geneforge but I MUST play this game then ! Hell, I'll even stop playing Geneforge now and won't resume until I'm done with Avernum ! Granted, it's probably a mere coincidence but I don't care, it's not every day you find something even remotly relative to good ol' Giscard. - A Giscard fan.
