While i'm with you in gay marrage, state by state is not a good idea. Remember black civil rights? A national law needs to be set to end controversy and make sure they get to excersise their rights.

I sorta have issue with the act. But i'm not getting your reason. All copyrights are handled by the creator, and when they die, their manager/company/family. If they want to be stingy, then let them, its their money that they might be loosing.

Big issue i know. My take on our power is that we should intervien only when it threatens a large group of people. In the middle east, we should of removed Sadamn Hussein as a dictator. We should of helped them back up (since we practically destroyed their country). We should of established a government. But once it was setup, Leave. We shouldn't intervene in a war thats been going on for hundreds of years. Were just more people to shoot at.
However don't think that i hate our armed forces. They signed a contract and unless they wan't an dishonorable discharge (which screws you for the rest of your life), then they have to fight.

This is a sorta-ish for me. I think that in some cases goverment money is needed so half the banks in the world don't fail. Car makers is a diffrent story. The reason that we threw money at car makers is that they have alot of jobs; so much that if they failed, the unemployment rate would jump a few percentage points. In desperate (and ONLY desperate) times radical decisions are needed.

Think you're missing the point on this one. As the current healthcare bill stands, those who do not purchase healthcare through either the government's public option or private policies will be fined or sent to jail. Ergo, the government is requiring you to pay a continual fee to be a citizen of the United States. And the cost of that required coverage will be a major hurdle for not only the elderly, but also working students, the homeless, and others drawing little to no income.

Duly noted, but the more militant portions of the homosexual community have a nasty habit of infiltrating schools and petitioning them to teach about alternative gender roles and lifestyles at far too early ages (like, K-5). You don't have African-Americans becoming teachers for the sake of teaching little kids how to be gangsta; they use the media like anyone else who wants to encourage people to make poor lifestyle choices.
(Not trying to rag on gays here, but when the Safe School Czar is ex-NAMBLA, I suggest everyone in the alternative sexuality community check themselves before they wreck themselves.)

Wait...what? 8\ Did you just call homosexuality a "poor lifestyle choice" (I was going to italicize one of those words for emphasis but the whole phrase is just...*no words*) or am I mis-reading your post?
I'll be posting my own Political views a little later when I can narrow them down to just a few...otherwise my post'd go on forever. ^^;
