[End Times Sentinel]

A little 1 minute quiz I found while trolling around on a lefty site.

 

Take the quiz yourself  and see if you can beat my score of 20!

 

Admitedly, I'm vulnerable in the mobility category, but I'm going to see if I can't eat meat at every meal to up my food score.

	CATEGORY	ACRES

	SHELTER	4.9

	TOTAL FOOTPRINT	20

IN COMPARISON, THE AVERAGE ECOLOGICAL FOOTPRINT IN YOUR COUNTRY IS 24 ACRES PER PERSON.

WORLDWIDE, THERE EXIST 4.5 BIOLOGICALLY PRODUCTIVE ACRES PER PERSON.

IF EVERYONE LIVED LIKE YOU, WE WOULD NEED 4.4 PLANETS.

I for one, am proud of how many people I put to work through my consumption. It's my little part in the war on poverty.

[uglybiker]

Only 6.9 planets. I got work to do.

[Dr.Zoidberg]

Some filthy, long haired hippy type is going to check his website and get the readings after our little foray and have a heart attack.

Who wants to bet the results of this little quiz don't end up as the basis for more attacks against the first world by the leftists?

[Carry_Okie]

I'm only at 2.5ha or 1.4 planets.

If they knew how much habitat restoration I do, they might even give me a fracitonal number.

[Loyalist]

How can I ever show my face around here if I only need 2.6 planets?

[Dr.Zoidberg]

That depends, are they really productive planets or just small backwater mudballs with a few thousand colonists? It makes a difference.

[Dick Vomer]

[Amelia]

Not bad, BUT I BEAT YOU!!!

But HOW????

[Salgak]

Only a score of 23, and we only need 4.5 planets.

I need to super-size more, and buy an SUV. . .

[Dead Dog]

I scored 8.5 planets. I ROCK! And I'm still shopping for a full sized pickup.. That should bump me over 10....unless it's a hemi...then I'll have the entire solor system!

And I thought I was greedy, then I saw how many 20-plus planet people there are. Now I feel good about doing my part to help our dear mother earth. Now start spreading the word, if we can occupy Venus, Mars, Mercury and the moon, everybody can copy me!

I rigged it pretty badly and realize that I need a low gas mileage car, and a motorcycle that is sputtering oil, but I would be able to get to 14.8 planets and a 66 footprint that way.

I only got 9.3 planets, so I just have to work harder. A Hummer or Ferrari would go a long ways to lowering my mileage. Especially if I put more than 500 miles a week on it.

They're trying to slide a lot of hidden assumptions past the reader. For one thing, you get a lot more efficient use of resources when they're privately owned. Freedom brings wealth, not the other way around. Wealth, in turn, lets you optimize your resources.

Free people bake bigger pies, and lots more of them, than serfs. Marginal acres get used for something productive, while the best farming acres are worked by the fewest people, and still produce enough to feed ourselves, and much of the rest of the world. Meanwhile, the non-farmers use the other acres to produce more non-agricultural wealth.

Shoot. Before I read your's, I thought I was doing good. But one of my cars is not an SUV. Oh, well.

I have to say, it's a good thing that most people don't live like me... .

I think my score is relavively low because I drive to work and back with someone almost all of the time.
