1 - do you support the right for gay couples to legally marry?
2 - do you support the death penalty?
3 - do you believe that freedom of speech should be absolute, or are their some limits on what people should be allowed to say?
4 - do you believe that part of the role of taxation is to redistribute resources more equally?
5 - do you believe that people should be forced to learn the official language of a nation if they want to emmigrate to it?
6 - do you believe that prayer should be prohibited from schools?

My answers

1 - yes, but I would be more comfortable if the question was "all legally aged couples"
2 - no
3 - freedom of speech should NOT have some limits (Who would you trust with the authority to define the limits?) Yelling "fire!" in a theater is endangering public safety by false alarm....
4 - yes
5 - no
6 - yes, if initiated, encouraged, sanctioned or required by public school personnel or other school authorities. I would not object for "quiet time" periods alloted during the school day.

The questions I added qualifiers to are vague, aren't they?
