Abortion? self-regulated by doctors overseen by the government.
Death Penalty? Our justice system is too fallible for it to be right to kill someone
Prostitution? Should be legal and regulated, particularly in terms of health care and stds.
Alcohol? tax it, regulate it, educate about it
Marijuana? see alcohol
Other drugs? see alcohol
Gay marriage? Relationships between same sex couples should have the same recognition as relationships between heterosexuals
Illegal immigrants? Generally ought to be returned to their country of origin. Exceptions to be made for inhumane treatment by country of origin.
Smoking? Shouldn’t be allowed in public venues. Otherwise, see alcohol.
Drunk driving? Is reckless endangerment. When consequent accidents do occur, inebriation should not be a mitigating circumstance
Cloning? So long as the clone is properly cared for, I see no reason why not
Racism? Is alive and well, sad to say. Guaranteed economic basics for everyone regardless of race, including a great education. Can’t think of a good way to encourage racial mixing, but it ought to be done.
Premarital sex? Education is the sole responsibility of the state, when it comes to consensual sex.
Religion? Preventing the persecution of minority religious adherents is about the only task for government here
The war in Iraq? Should never have started
Bush? is the most divisive president we’ve had in my lifetime. And the most destructive of our nation’s welfare. May his reign be brief.
Downloading music? IP laws are screwy, thanks to the corps that profit from them. The goal of IP law was not to guarantee profit but to nurture creativity for the common good. Needs work.
The legal drinking age? Should be up to parents/legal guardians on a case by case basis.
Porn? is not something the government should be involved in.
Suicide? is not something the government should be involved in.

  1. Complete agreement.

    How about genetic engineering of babies? I’m on board. We should try to give future generations the best genetic endowment possible. If we didn’t would we really be caring about children and those who surive childhood to adulthood?
