4>4 Personal answerPro-choice |
Social › Gay Marriage
4>4 Personal answerTake the government out of marriage and instead make it a religious decision |
the Economy › Equal Pay
4>4 Personal answerNo, there are too many other variables such as education, experience, and tenure that determine a fair salary |
Domestic Policy › Gun Control
4>4 Personal answerGeorge Mason, the author of the original form of the 2nd Amendment, made it clear on many occasions that its purpose was to ensure that We The People are ALWAYS better-armed than those in Gov't and the Military, in order to ensure that Gov't and the Military remained the servants of free persons, not their masters: "That the people have a Right to mass and to bear arms; that a well regulated militia composed of the Body of the people, trained to arms, is the proper natural and safe defense of a free state, that standing armies, in time of peace, are dangerous to liberty, and therefore ought to be avoided." "...to disarm the people ― that was the best and most effectual way to enslave them." "what is the militia? It is the whole people, except for few public officials." In other words, "The Miltia" =IS= "We The People," and they must be well--armed to protect themselves against being enslaved by a tyranny of "Them the Government." Thus, the 2nd Amendment should be restored to Mason's original language rather than the debased form that made it into the Constitution, and moreover expanded to articulate the Fundamental Human Right of each individual to defend their own life and to defend themselves against tyranny --- for as Jefferson said in the Declaration of Independence, government is supposed to _secure_ the pre-existing individual rights of life and liberty --- not to "define" (and to un-define!) rights as "Privileges Granted by the State" --- and "whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government." |

Domestic Policy › Term Limits
4>4 Personal answerYes, and both the entire Electoral system and the current spoils-based and gerrymandered "Districting" system are in serious need of reform. NO ONE is well-served (except Congresscritters!) when Congresscritters have a 98% reelection rate so that most of them die in office as long as they avoid sexual or financial scandal, and 80% of Congressional Districts are "Safe" (i.e., immune from challenge) for one "Lamestream" Party or the other, and 33% of candidates for State and Local Offices run unopposed. |

4>4 Personal answerNo, service should be a choice instead of an obligation |

Immigration › Immigrant Laborers
4>4 Personal answerI think that people who are peacefully working to support themselves and their families have more "right" to be here than people who avoid work and look for ways to sponge off "The System." Moreover, the existing "Immigration System" is hopelessly broken; it now takes an average of _22 years_ for an "average" person to legally immigrate. |
