Work is not life, people are not their profession, and tying social services to companies means dropping any mechanism to balance economical trends that counteract social interests.

Although it is hard to pin down the precise defintion of facism,there is partial core defintion that everyone agrees upon. In a facist state, the state is a puppet for the corprations.

One has to be careful to disentangle necessarily local politics from those that isn't, or even that which is in essence global. The biggest problems with the European Union are in conflicts between national and European laws.

My head is still spinning seeing at how low they scored. In as this caught my interest I sent out the quiz to some office coworkers today and found that the pattern holds true with the score decreasing with the age of those tested.
