Posted by Dand124 on Wed Mar 1 01:15:18 2006, in response to Subtalk politics: at a glance, posted by aem7ac on Mon Feb 27 09:45:15 2006. Stem CellFor. I don't think it is cure all but there is no reason to let religion get in the way of potentially useful medicine. Gun Control Against. Every citizen is has a right to own a gun for protection. When law and order breaks down I gun may be your only means of protection (think of the Korean shop owners in the L.A, riots). I favor instant background checks to make sure a violent criminal or mentally ill person doesn't have access to guns but that's it. Abortion Choice For. I would in theory support banning late term abortion unless there is a medical need, however since there aren't may unjustified late term abortions I don't want judges playing doctors. Federal Healthcare Against. A federal health system would just be filled with waste incompetence and patronage. MSAs are the way to go. Port Sale For. U.S. navy ships dock in ports run this company already without incident there is no reason to think that they would pose one here. I think it is unlikely the terrorists would use ports anyway it's not difficult to smuggle things in and a nuke doesn't take up much space. Politicians of both parties grandstanding on the issue when they clearly don’t know much about it also annoy me (like when schumer was talking about 'manifolds' on IMUS). Soc. Sec. Reform For. Social security was originally designed a form of insurance not as a retirement plan. I don't like the idea of bureaucrats deciding but investment plans people should be able to invest in, as was the case under Bush's plan. Keep to survivor and disability plans as they are make the rest voluntary like Goldwater wanted to. Morning After For. Since it's safe it should be allowed OTC. Gay Marriage Favor, this is a simple equal protection issue. Public Smoking Ban Oppose. Private business owners should decide what is and isn't allowed at their businesses. Patriot Act Oppose the controversial parts. I never trust any government with this much power, and we are already starting to see mission creep. We should tighten up the boards and be more selective in who we give visas to. Creation in Schools Oppose there religion is not science end of story. Motorcycle Helmet laws Oppose. If someone wants to do something stupid that's his or her right. Insurance companies should be able to charge higher rates to people who don't where helmets however. |
