1. No, but let us separate 'marriage' as a blanket term and use instead civil union or some variation of that. Let that be the legal terminology for all unions, MW,MM,WW,MWM,WMW. Let the church, synogoge, mosque, decide if they will participate. Then further, let that entity along with the couple call their union what ever they want.
2. Yes, but not as a deterent, but as a means of clearing the jail cells.
3. Freedom of speech should be absolute, even yelling fire in a theater. But you should be made criminally liabe for any trouble you cause. Ensite violence and share a sentence with the one who committed the act. Yell fire and be prepared to cover the cost of any injuries or damage from a broken nail to revenue lost when everybody evacuated.
4. Taxation should be used to fund the services government provides.
5. No one should be forced to learn an official language, but we shouldn't bend to accomidate those who chose not to. So have an official language and as an immigrant you'll know that until you learn it you won't prosper.
6. Prayer should not be forced or prohibited in schools. We got that quite time deal now, do what the hell you want.
