How Do You Feel About...
Religion?
I have found that religion brings out both the best and the worst in people, and i would agrue that the former happens a lot more than the latter. Religionists gone wrong get all the press however. Children-abusing priests, suicide bombers, cross burners....these people get more press then the average guy who belives in God, goes to a church, and tries to help his fellow man. Religion has been a very positive thing in my life. it makes me sad to see other people giving us a bad name
Abortion?
i think abortion is almost always wrong, and movements, from both withen in the goverment, and in private orginazations like churches, should work to prevent it. i dont support an outright ban however
Welfare?
Some is necessary. The goverment should work to help people help themselves.
Affirmative Action?
i think its wrong, but im filling out the form for it anyways
The Death Penalty?
against
Gay Marriage?
against gay marriage, for civil unions, so long as a church can elect not to reconize it. no reason to deny medical and legal rights to homosexuals.
Gay Adoption?
Should be legal if the parents are qualified.
Hate Crimes?
difficult to prove. when its clear cut, (like Matthew Shepard), extra punishment is warented
Education?
building block of all aspects of our goverment. we should always work to improve this

Some protection is necessary

only when nesessary to save humans

we can beat it by research, education, and being smart...and people arent doing those three things well right now

against. public schools are not corperations. I do not want to spend money for some other kid to attend catholic school. let them, or their parish, spend that money

its a sad situation. kids can do well in households where there are not two active parents (I am an example), but 2 parents is the optimal situation, and thats what should be strived for
School Uniforms?
no way

no. either enforce it at 21, or move it to 19, and nail underage drinkers
Immigration?
with no immigration, there is no matt brown. actually, there is no america. this should not be restricted. your grandparents moved here...why cant other people?
