Christine... Are ya bossy?  lol   I had no idea what an Authoritarian meant so I looked it up for ya on wikipedia:

Authoritarianism describes a form of social control characterized by strict obedience to the authority of a state or organization, often maintaining and enforcing control through the use of oppressive measures. Authoritarian regimes are strongly hierarchical.

there is more here, or you can look elsewhere if that will help.

This test is whacked! I took it three times because I couldn't believe where I ended up.  I got the same results 3 times and I drastically changed some of my answers twice.  Sorry not buying it. Was very interesting though.

Christine- What does being the Pope and being bossy have to do with each other?

AAH, Not sure exactly what this means but I am somewhere near the POPE!

Does this mean I am bossy? Hmmm.....

I understand EEK and I am very happy you found a place to live that isn't shafting you on your electric bill.

luvmykatz... it's all good... you have a great weekend too.

Sparks...I'm not sure how to take your comment "I see now where you do belong on the right" but I wont take it personal....LOL ;-) Enjoy your weekend.........

Yes, Luv we had the meter checked several times and of course it was fine. Keep in mind the house was entirely electric 100%. And it was also on a water well. The house had very bad insulation and single pain windows and if you even as much turned on the heat there goes the bill. I fought tooth and nail with the rental agency ( whom I will never rent from again ) about this and the owner did take $100 a month off of our rent for 2 months and gave us $400 Whoo Hoo $600 off of over $9,000. Nothing ever got done about the electric problems and we were stuck paying it. My last bill from this house was $830 for 30 days. Currently I owe over $2,000 for a total of 3 months of services. We just have a renter's curse from this rental agency, this is not the first time we have had some serious problems and nothing got done right. I hope no one rents the last house we were in and gets stuck there like we did and had to pay a HUGE price....

The house we are in now is a little smaller but it is gas and electict and both combined was just a little over $200 and i can actually turn on the heat when it is cold and not worry about the bill being over $500.....

Oh and sparks I would love to get my money for my son but honestly I really do not want it because then he would want something to do with my son and I want him as far away from my son as possible.

Here's some "news" to lighten up your Friday:

Maybe we should not take ourselves so seriously, so relax and take the SUV out for a spin.  You don't know what you're missing!! ha ha ha

eek..... did you ever have the electric company check that meter? That amount of money seems so far out of wack its worth pursuing even if you don't live there any longer if you could prove the meter was malfunctioning maybe they would be required to refund you some money. ...just a thought.

I don't like to get into these political debates because I just don't like politics period but I know that test is very general I took it again and just changed my answers from agree/disagree to strongly agree/strongly disagree on just a few of the questions and it put me over on the right side.

All I can say is Yes; I do care about people and sometimes they need help when times are hard BUT welfare was never ment to be a lifestyle and I'll be damned if I should have to take care of some unwed mother just because she can't keep her legs closed and won't use birth control.

I am a democrat because I believe democrats have the good of all people in mind.   Of course I am going to believe the left is for all people and their equal rights more so than that of the right..  again that is why I became a democrat.    I won't apologize for that.  I am very proud to be a democrat.   I also care about many other issues like the environment..  there are many reasons I am a democrat.  I want more focus on the middle class as well. I'm as proud to be a democrat as some of you are of being a republican.   I have seen many statements on this blog demeaning democrats and I try not to take them personally either but like Blaze sometimes I do.  We all have a right to our beliefs, and we all have a right to debate them.   I'm ok with Blaze getting upset with me, I understand how he feels all too well.  I have been there many times.   However, I do want Blaze to know that it is not personal... just as the statements made by conservatives about liberals are not personal either..  I'm not perfect.. far from it.   But, I gotta be me and I can't conform to what people think i should be...    I think the Democrats want that for me as well because they care about all people.

If I am wrong and conservatives will help my gay nephew to live a happy life with his partner and allow me to be a godless Buddhist without having another religion pushed on me..    please let me know.   I think we all should have the right to be who we are and believe in what we believe in.   We don't have to agree... but we should have the the right to be different.

Sparks I need more medical help?? Medical insurance is not a serious issue in my family. Is what my family needs is more resources to get what is needed for our children. For example it took me over a year fighting with the school district to get my youngest son speech therapy. He is 7 years old and his speech is at a 1 to 2 year old level. I could not afford a lawyer and we do not finacially qualify for legal aid. So I did it on my own and got him these services. And there is no way we could of hired a speech therapist on our own.

At Christmas time we were having alot of finacial trouble due to having to pay our electric bill. Our electric bill came and it was sky high and had to be paid. We were in that house for 1 year ( the lease was for a year ) and we paid over $9000 in electric bills. It was running $500 to $800 a month for electic, now we are out of there and our last bill was $100.. What a diffrence!

Now dead beat father's or mother's is another subject and so is welfare...I have not gotten child support in 15 years and I am owed over $60,000....
