1 - do you support the right for gay couples to legally marry? yes, what the fuck do I care?
2 - do you support the death penalty? no, we should be above the barbarism of killing each other as penalties by this point in our civilization's evolution.
3 - do you believe that freedom of speech should be absolute, or are their some limits on what people should be allowed to say? not absolute, but as free as possible-I think the "clear and present danger" rule is a good one in theory, though it doesn't get used as well as I'd like.
4 - do you believe that part of the role of taxation is to redistribute resources more equally? definitely not. Taxation should be about providing public goods and services as efficiently as possible.
5 - do you believe that people should be forced to learn the official language of a nation if they want to immigrate to it? yes, though I wouldn't require fluency. Communication is too important to an individual's ability to contribute to society to not have language be a requirement.
6 - do you believe that prayer should be prohibited from schools? Organized prayer conducted by faculty members as faculty members should absolutely be prohibited in public school. Informal prayer which does not disrupt the learning environment by individuals as individuals should not be, however.
