Abortion?:	I am neither pro, nor anti. It is not my choice to make.
Death Penalty?:	I have yet to see any compelling evidence that it serves as a deterrent. As such, it is little more than revenge killing. I'm too civilized to approve.
Prostitution?:	Clean it up (get rid of the pimps and minors). License it. Market it.
Alcohol?:	Yum. I am delighted by recent studies that show that it's actually GOOD for you.
Marijuana?:	Treat it just like alcohol.
Other drugs?:	What do you mean "other drugs"? That includes Aspirin and Tylenol. Each "other drug" must be considered on its own merits and pitfalls.
Gay marriage?:	Why not? I mean seriously, why not? Try to convince me why gays should not marry (and don't bother quoting scripture, that won't convince me.)
Illegal immigrants?:	I think they should be treated with the same dignity that we should extend to all of our fellow humans.
Smoking?:	I quit, but I'm not preachy about it.
Drunk driving?:	It depends how you define "drunk". I am against zero-tolerance. Lock away the people who are dangerously impaired and stop criminalizing the ones who aren't.
Cloning?:	I'm all in favour of cloning stem cells.
Racism?:	I like to think that I've mostly matured out of my youthful bigotry.
Premarital sex?:	As long as it's between consenting adults then why should I care?
Religion?:	You can believe whatever you want as long as it doesn't affect me.
The war in Iraq?:	If killing a lot of people and destabilizing the region was the goal then I think it was a huge success.
Bush?:	Sometimes it's almost like he has a mind of his own. Why not ask me my stand on Howdie Doodie?
Downloading music?:	I only download what I wouldn't have bought anyway (and sometimes what I HAVE bought anyway if I'm too lazy to rip it myself for the MP3 player).
The legal drinking age?:	This would not be an issue if alcohol didn't have such a social stigma attached to it. Lighten up, lots of cultures let their kids have wine with dinner without doing harm.
Porn?:	I have no problem with it as long as it involves consenting (non-minor) parties all around.
Suicide?:	I am neither pro, nor anti. It is the choice of the individual who does it.
