I could almost overlook his pro-life stance except I can't stand right wing meddling in people's personal lives. <BR/><BR/>The gun control issue is really the only social issue I don't side with the left on. The idea of giving up the right to firearms, in an age when our government is spying on and illegally detaining people, does NOT make me feel any safer. Although I would prefer to live in a world without guns, my thoughts on the topic are, "Fuck it, if they get 'em, we better too!"<BR/><BR/>I hate to say this, but I have no faith in democracy anymore.

A poll I read a while ago concluded that most people don't even vote based on the issues. They just vote for the candidate they think will win. It's a stupid, childish, "I have to be right mentality."<BR/><BR/>Have you seen the movie 'Idiocracy', yet? There's a film that does a good job of showing where we're headed.Jay B.
