Patent protection as it functions now serves to inhibit innovation and protect rents for the big corporate players.

i don't believe parents should tell kids that santa is real, especially if religious.

I believe able bodied men who are not incarcerated should have at least 1 summer of service in military between ages of 18-22.

The war on drugs was a failure from the start. People serve more time in prison for vitcimless drug offenses than killing people today in some cases. That's absurd. I'm all for legalization of almost all drugs.

I think abortion should be illegal. But since it is legal, I think if you get an abortion you should not have the government pay for one cent of it, and you should not receive one iota of welfare for life after receiving one.
I think that no one should receive welfare regardless. Having an abortion should not be a determining factor in anything in life though.

Everyone has the right to vote. We need to make it mandatory or at least make it easier to vote. Democracy is what America is about.
Corporate involvement in elections needs to be limited.
Abortions should be a woman's right and not yours or my decision. Gay Marriage should be allowed in every state.
The Big ten should never be in the National Championship game.
Any one with a Drug record cannot own a gun.
If you have a child and you are not married, you forfeit part or all of your gov funds. Get married first.
and no hyphenated names on kids.

Inspired from the firefighter thread, but didn't want to post there:
While I think those men were heroic for doing what they did to protect lives, I think its retarded that we have such a system set up in the first place to try to stop mother nature when she obviously just wants to burn shite down in that area. It's hindering the cycle of life and just leading to more wildfires.
I have the same general opinion regarding New Orleans and Katrina.

everyone has a right to vote. Not educating yourself about who and what you are voting for should forfeit that right.
I also think a totalitarian gov. could be better than what we currently have. With the right set up.
