Which political issue do you care LEAST about.


With me it's abortion.  I've heard both sides, I can empathise with both sides, and I've heard so much argument on abortion, I don't even care any more.  I'm against state funded abortions.  I don't think there should be any federal laws against it.  It should be a federalism sorta thing, where each state decides--like the death penalty (probably my second coldest issue for similar reasons).

I don't want to hear pro-lifers or pro-choicers yell at me on this one.  I just want to hear which issues do you really not give a crap about.

Northern Ireland.  The minute I hear it mentioned, my eyes glaze over.  It's ironic since I'm mostly of Irish descent, but I just don't care.  I have no patience for people who can't work out minor differences, and who refuse to let go of things that happened hundreds of years ago.

Social Security.  I know I really should care, given that I'm going to be old some day, but I just can't bring myself to do so.

Glad you agree.  The whole thing is so damn boring.  What are they even fighting over?

The analogy I like to use when talking about education and spending on it is this. Think of a massive incinerator, maybe at a lumber yard or a factory.  Now, think of a conveyor system that continuosly carries boxes into the incinerator.  The incinerator is funding of education in bad schools, the conveyor is the federal government, and the boxes are our money.  Education spending won't ever be cut to where it should be, and we'll never introduce a system based on responsibility.  

Ideally, we would have a system where we could permenantly kick students out of the public school system if they don't show an interest in learning. If a kid repeatedly acts up, doesn't work hard, and still does these things after being given second, third, fourth chances, they should be stripped of the privelege of education.  Americans these days think we should have alot more rights than we do.  The rights we have are in the constitution.  In none of my readings have I encountered a right to education.

Yet, this won't change, so I've decided not to care about it.

Day to day movements in Iraq. The big picture is more important to me.

Also agricultural.

I'm kinda shocked that someone could care so little about the environment, it's being ungrateful to your surroundings. We've got to protect that.
