This was the result of the palm software published by Insights. Thanks !

‘This is a Helping Supporter’s profile.

Others can find them complex and difficult to understand. Empathic and compassionate, they have a strong need to contribute to the welfare of others. When they are helping others understand the importance of their ideas, then they can be the most convincing. They would be prepared to walk across broken glass in bare feet to help a friend in need. Achieving great personal financial success is not top of their personal achieving agenda.’

I have to admit that I found it very hard to answer the questions, so I’m not surprised that it doesn’t accurately reflect how I currently perceive myself. However, it’s not too far off – I guess it’s the ‘me’ who exists when I’m not hovering around the borders of the black land.

Right now the black land is calling me somewhat louder than piu forte. I’m doing my best to ignore her but I can’t quite drown her out.

=================================

Clarification: ‘the black land’ is depression. It is not a person.

I wish there had been room for certain shades of grey in this quiz – and that it recognised the CPA!


You Are a New School Democrat
You like partying and politics – and are likely to be young and affluent.

You’re less religious, traditional, and uptight than most Democrats.

Smoking pot, homosexuality, and gambling are all okay in your book.

You prefer that the government help people take care of themselves.

return of the king?

To paraphrase Ms Gaynor:
‘And so I’m back, from outer space
and Bush is still in charge of the place’

In truth, we had heard the result … what the fuck happened? What went wrong? Actually, I don’t want to know just now …. I don’t want to hear how or why Joe and Josephine Sixpack voted the way they did. With the exception of (and any of her family and friends who voted against Bush) and and her ilk, all of the US is off my christmas card list forever.

Later, I’ll want to know how I can at least try to prevent some of Bush’s worst excesses and how to help the US find a candidate who can repair some of the damage Bush has done to my world. (I realise this sounds a little big-headed but you know what I mean.)

Moral majority? I think not. How can killing ever be moral?

  • I have issues with abortion but I have nothing in common with those who would (and do!) kill doctors who perform them.
  • I have nothing in common with those who make dupes so poor that they have no choice but to join the army, get caught up in and brutalised by an un-necessary war, then left to rot by their cynical masters.
  • I have nothing in common with those who vote to increase the scourges on their own backs.

Will all such people please leave my planet. I and my fellow small furry creatures want to be able to gather together in a cave and groove with a Pict without fear of annihilation, thank you.
