I believe in the total separation of church and state. Religion should have no power over the people, especially a single religion. I believe in dinosaurs. I do not believe in animal cruelty. I believe that smoking should be banned from all places except your house, your car, and if you are outside in an open area. I do not believe in the 'war on terror.' I believe in personal privacy. I believe in the use of hybrids and/or fuel efficient cars. I believe true Equality; not as in gay or straight - but as in Human Equality. I support National Healthcare. If other countries can accomplish it, what's taking so long in America? I truly believe if health is achieved then there would be no reason why you can't work. A government should do more than enough to keep it's people alive; America's Government is letting it's citizen's die on street corners. Fix it Now. I believe in freedom of speech, not freedom to preach hate. Ex: The KKK, or Westboro Baptist Church. I do not like stereotypes or jokes being made on a race, religion, orientation...etc. I will always defend myself. I believe in World Peace; even if you don't believe it'll ever happen doesn't mean we can't try.

Major issues I keep at heart:
1.) To say the War In Iraq pisses me off is an understatement. It, for me, has caused many arguments; some arguments being with my family, including my parents, and strangers. If you even want to know my opinion, we should discuss it in person over Coffee sometime - it's too difficult to get out over the internet. Just know that I do not agree with the loss of so many lives over something so pointless and irrelevant that has nothing to do with what was originally at hand. No loss of life now is worth the goal for peace in the future. Future Peace is always achievable through Current Peace. What type of message are we sending to future generations if all we have to show for our goal in Peace is Vietnam and Iraq? Niether of which I agree we should have ever gotten involved. Both are/were just a huge waste of human life.
2.) I like learning more about Global Warming - if you are someone who doesn't believe it exists, which it so does, then you should at least see the personal benefits the steps we could take to reduce Global Warming has on you. For once, being selfish will actually have many rewards in the end. But as for now, at least care for the drowning, dying Polar Bears.
3.) Better treatment of animals during life and before killing for food and/or the benefits of a vegetarian diet. There are many great options to consider instead of meat. Soy comes in many different forms so you can make it in anything you would normally include meat in, and you can't even tell the difference. The torture an animal has to endure in life just to be prepared for you is completely unacceptable and sick. Most animals bred for food are injected with steroids which causes many health issues to the animal you are so unthinkingly putting in your body to digest. The animals have to go through a hell of a life before finally being cruelly killed - this type of treatment to any living being should either cease completely & immediately , or be rethought to a way the animal doesn't have to suffer. A humane way to kill animals does exist - for companies though, it's just not the cheapest so it isn't worth it.
I do not think I'm better than you, but you ARE NOT above me.
