I guess I should clarify my views. Proposed System: The government should have more referendums, especially on large government programs. You have to consider that the government can't spend any money without either taking it from taxpayers or indebting itself, so just because the government is spending more on something doesn't mean that more money is being spent on it. Any important. Also, from what I see, the electoral college should be done away with completely. I'd like to say that the two-party system should be done away with, but I'm not sure that it's just a simple matter of "doing away with it." Cannabis: I'm in favor of cannabis legalization, but I don't buy into all this "weed cures cancer, weed will save the economy" stuff. I bet cannabis would be legal by now if the 420 crowd were honest about their intentions from the beginning. I think cannabis should be legalized for purely recreational purposes because I want to get stoned legally, period. At the very least, it's not any worse than alcohol or tobacco. Economics: I believe that capitalism is not only the best economic system, but the only one that works. I don't believe that the situation of impoverished countries is as much to blame on the west as it is on their own government's corruption and meddling with economic growth. I believe that communism would inevitably lead to dictatorship. Nazism is the front door the fascism, communism is the back door. Israel/Palestine: I can't say whether I agree with how the state of Israel was established, but in the present I am certainly pro-Israel. I believe that most Israeli "oppression" is myth, that the Palestinian refugees are victims of their Arab "bretheren" rather than Israeli oppression, and that Arab hostility to Israel is fundamentally antisemitic in nature. Religion: Personally, I'd say I'm an agnostic. Politically, I'd say that I believe in secularism. A lot of people on the Christian right don't seem to know the difference between secularism and state atheism. All secularism means is that when a leader, executive, legislator, or judge is making a desicion that will affect the lives of other people, they should do it without regard to their own religious beliefs because they're representing taxpayers from all religious backgrounds. That doesn't mean it's wrong for a leader to promote their religion; they can do that all they want as long as they're doing it on their own time with their own money. Race and Gender: If we're talking about ways to make them equal, I'd say I want everyone to be equal in terms of opportunity, with equal access to education, healthcare, legal protection etc. That doesn't necessarily mean that races and sexes should be made equal in terms of wealth or power.
