Abortion=Excluding rape, incest or health concerns, first trimester only
Gay Marriage=Pro. I dn't want to get married, but if I did I should be able to.
Guns=Banned/Destroyed/Eradicated, excluding policing and the military
Taxes=Lower them for the lower and middle classes, raise them or keep them neutral for upper class depending on budgetary needs
The World=I like the world. I don't like all the people in it, or all the countries.
Iraq=good to get rid of Saddam, but the lead-up was bad, the invasion good and the occupation terrible. We should stay, but we have a lot of work to do.
John Kerry=Boring, mundane, but honourable and trustworthy
GW=Exciting, charismatic, but irritating and untoughtful
Health Care=Free healthcare for all, and of good quality too. Anyone who opposes this is selfish beyong belief, in my opinion.
Social Security=Reform-Needs to be state run, but more efficiently. Am to have less people accessing it, and raise old-age and disability pensions.
Affirmative Action=We don't have it in AUS, so i'm not really sure. Like the idea of class-based AA; undecided on rae based AA.
Immigration=Extremely Pro-Skilled Immigration, moderately pro unskilled immigration if they are young, anti old, unskilled immigration.
Environment=The environment should be one of the top priorities, but there are other important priorities too.

Forgot:

Death Penalty: TOTALLY AGAINST; IN COMPLETE AND UTTER DISGUST OF IT.

Pre-Emptive Strikes: With good reason and international support, yes; otherwise...

Free Trade: Yes with countries ith adequate human rights and civil liberties.

Patriot act: What I know of it is negatove, so repeal t or significantly modify it

Education: Not sure exactly what vouchers are, what I know of them is positive. Funding needs to be raised, especially for lower-performing schools, not the other way around (although all schools should have a raise).

I've always disagreed with elected school boards. It is stupid to politicise education-not funding, but the actual running of it.
