The questions were sort of leading and limiting. I do think that abortion is wrong since it really kills somebody, and a woman could make something good out of a trauma by giving some childless parents a baby to adopt, but I think making abortion illegal across the board is extreme. I think a company's main responsibility is to it's shareholders, but any entity that has that much power has a great opportunity to do some good in the world, and I wish they would. I think social security is fine, but it would be awful nice to give people the choice to opt out. I think gay people should be able to do whatever they want, but they need to be careful in trusting any government to recognize their marriages on paper. What if the country makes a radical turn for the worse? Should anyone need or want government permission to marry anyway? As far as affirmative action and the like, I don't think anybody deserves "special" status above and beyond their inalienable rights to succeed or fail just like anyone else. Maybe it's the optimist in me, but if Maya Angelou or Oprah could make it with all the trouble they faced in their lives, anybody could. They're not godesses, just people. I think the death penalty is a good thing and should be used more often for child pornographers and abusers, rapists, and torturers. So there.

From Zenari. Now to see if I pass 8th grade math, what planet I am, and whether I am a good cook.

I have to agree that the quiz was very poorly put together. Few things in life are black or white, either/or situations.
