I went back to the site after Cheryl's post and did some digging. If
you read the "FAQ's" page, most of this is answered.

Actually, homemaker and mother go hand in hand. You can't do one
without the other. It's the word you hate? Yes, you can put the kid in
day care, hire a housekeeper, see the child between work and bedtime,
and still be a mother and care about your child. But the question made
you stop and think. The FAQ page answers some of this.

I'm not saying you're wrong, but either you think children come first
above all else and you stay with them (homemaker) or you slightly agree,
or slightly disagree or strongly favor one side or the other. If you
are being forced to work because of economic times, that won't change
your opinion on how you feel it SHOULD be done. Feminists are equating
work with freedom, and in my personal opinion, that's rather upside down
thinking.

I'm going back there today to read a few other pages which I just
glossed over yesterday. As the site says: this will get dialogue
going, which is so important. I was SHOCKED to see Dean just to the
left of Bush. Who fared as a libertarian-left? Kucinich! I'll have to
dig further. grin

I went to the site and took the test. I felt that the some of the questions
were not worded in a way that answers could be given correctly. One example
was: Mothers may have careers but their first duty is to be homemakers. One
was to answer agree or disagree. I don't think anyone's first duty is to be
a homemaker but I sure do think anyone who is a Mother has a duty to put
that job first. Being a homemaker and a Mother are not the same thing.

There were many other questions which presented the same dilemma.
So I got fixed in a position....but was it accurate? I don't think so.

A few months back, someone posted a site with a test to see where you
were at on the political scale: right or left.

The following site does this a little better, has some interesting
statements to make about social and economic "visions", past and current
global leaders and where they are in the spector.

For those interested in this issue, take the test and read the
documentation. I found it fascinating. The questions intriguing, and
often times difficult to answer.
