1. Is President Bush doing a good job as president of the U.S.?

No (Deficit! Environment! Education! Corporate Welfare!)

2. Should the Ten Commandments be allowed/placed in public places such as schools and courtrooms?

No. (I'm for 10 commandments, but also for the separation of church & state. Display in private school or private business is OK with me)

3. Do you support the death penalty IN CONCEPT?

Allowable answers: Yes. Should be up to the voters of each state.

4. Do you support the right to have an abortion IN CONCEPT?

Yes - all cases except partial birth. As long as Roe V Wade is the law, a woman has a legal right. Abortion should not be used as casual birth control, obviously...

5. Which is the best of THESE TWO endgames for the Iraq War?

Stay until we get the country stabilized. (doesn't have to be necessarily a democracy exactly like ours... if the people of Iraq decide they want some other system...just needs to be peaceful and not a dictatorship or US government puppet republic.)

6. Should Carl Peterson retain his job for the 2005 season?

Allowable answers: Yes (he's got a year on his contract, then bye.)

7. Should marijuana sale and use be legal?

No (Already too many US drug problems IMHO)

8. Should the U.S. have a program to place a man on Mars by the year 2020?

No (manned exploration not necessary with new technology; un-manned maybe OK if we have the $$$)

9. Should gay marriage be legal?

No (Civil unions for tax purposes is OK though. I think marriage should be a man & a woman, IMHO)

10. If you could invest an additional $100 billion in any ONE of the following governmental programs, which ONE would you invest in?

Improving the public education system. (Where the rubber meets the road..all the other choices are related to education in some form)

11. Should snowmobiles and other mechanized recreational vehicles be allowed in undeveloped natural areas of natural parks?

No (they cause massive ecological damage to plants & habitats)

12. Will Kawika Mitchell eventually be a solid starter for the Kansas City Chiefs?

No (He ain't got the smarts or the instinct...too many arm tackles)

13. Assuming that only one of these can be emphasized in public schools, which one should be taught?

Birth Control (private schools can teach whatever they want)

14. Assuming that only one of these can be emphasized in public schools, which one should be taught?

Evolution (again, private schools can teach whatever they want)

15. Should smoking be banned in all public places?

Don't ban it (In designated areas is a reasonable compromise)

16. Should the federal government develop a national health care system to replace the current system of private insurance?

No (Health care is not a right guaranteed in the Constitution. If that's what's best for America, push to amend the constitution.)

17. Does violence in movies, television, and video games promote violence in real life?

Yes (Too many weak minded individuals with access to too many weapons aka Columbine. There's more teen violence in the past ten years than ever before, whole generation de-sensitized to violence.)

18. Should divorces be easy to obtain?

Yes (It's a judicial procedure. Some may not divorce for religious reasons, that's their choice).

19. Should America subsidize farmers who raise crops that are unprofitable due to foreign competition?

Allowable answers: No ("A global marketplace" cuts both ways)

20. Should a portion of each citizen's Social Security payments be made available to them to invest in private funds?

Allowable answers: No (Wall St. has too much history of evil doers abusing mutual funds and pension plans)
