Now, I'm more of a liberal than a libertarian (this told me so), so I favor governmental controls for certain things (e.g., protection of property, civil freedoms, public health, and the environment). However, there are lots and lots of government functions, programs, and services that I think should go away. NOW.
For example:
This is over $1100 worth of books from the government printing office (GPO).
(please note my book-placement artistry - and my beloved rainbow slinky!)
It took over a month of back and forth with communications to get them to send the darned things, but then they sent the wrong ones! It only took two more weeks for GPO to ship the volumes we'd actually ordered, and then they forgot to include the shipping label so I could return the incorrect volumes. Also, pause a moment to take in the [HIDEOUS!] binding color. Kinko's could have processed my order in a fraction of the time with eye-pleasing bindings that wouldn't fall apart as soon as I cracked open a book. And yet this is the only place I can get most government publications!! And we needed these books (preferably on time) to perform contracting work for the government!!![Sigh.]

Interestingly, I took your quiz. I am dead-center. No lie. It made me laugh.
Well said.
