In the world of The Golden Compass, every human being is accompanied by a daemon. Being the manifestation of the soul living outside of the human body, a daemon is representative of its human on every level (especially telling is the animal shape the daemon has taken).
The official website for The Golden Compass, which is due in cinemas December 7, has added a neat feature in which you can determine what your daemon would be. All you need to do is enter your name and gender, and answer twenty questions on a scale ranging from ’strongly disagree’ to ’strongly agree’. The feature will then reveal what animal your daemon is (along with a picture), based on your most striking characteristics, and give him/her a name. The results can be shared on your website, blog or message board.

I prefer Obama to McCain. Now, McCain’s better than average for a Republican. And though his ads are intellectually offensive, he’s just bowing to his campaign masters and would calm down and be more sane once in office and not campaigning. But I have a few concerns with McCain on foreign policy. He’s not a full-fledged Neocon. That’s good. He opposed Reagan on Lebanon. Good. He was critical of Bush’s initial strategy in Iraq. That’s good. But there’s a problem. He thinks the Vietnam war was winnable and that the US shouldn’t have withdrawn. He’s also eager to spread democracy with force. This just isn’t a good set of beliefs for inheriting Iraq.
