I wish more people would find the golden mean between Coulter's God gave us the Earth to rape as we please, and Al Gore's cronies who would tax us for exhaling.
My point exactly.
As with guns, there is some middle ground.
Compromise doesn't have to be a dirty word.
For instance, I really don't think convicted murderers should be able to legally purchase guns. I also don't think they should, as a general rule, ever be allowed to live in free society again.
In the whole Abortion/Pro-Life/etc thing, I'm against abortion, which I view as killing babies(there are a lot of adults that we should kill first), but for contraceptives that preempt conception. I also think it's a merciful thing, with proper safeguards in place, to allow doctor assisted suicide in cases of terminal conditions with untreatable pain.
I don't think people should litter. In fact, I would shift littering from $300 fine to lethal injection... but I think we should be allowed to burn our garbage in our back yards, and that the EPA needs to find better things to do than help give Exxon and company an excuse to charge five bucks a gallon for diesel fuel.
I think property owners should have as many rights as possible, but I also think the government should take action to limit and, in areas listed as USDA prime land, completely ban residential/industrial/commercial development.
I believe the open and free market is a wonderful creature, but that there are cases where the market, as is the case with any system, can not self-correct every little thing and might need a nudge, especially in areas, such as energy, food, and water management, where ensuring production, reasonable prices, and maintaining an emergency reserve is vital to protect the people who fund that government.
Oh, and I don't like tobacco smoke, but I think people should be allowed to smoke in any business where the owners say they are allowed to. If a bar is willing to lose non-smoking customers in order to cater to those who do smoke, that's the proprietor's business and that's that.
I'm not sure what I just illustrated, but I was trying to expand on Chris Rock's point that there are some things we're liberal about, and some things we're conservative about, or at least anyone who actually has and uses their brain should be like that...

I'm not big on the whole organ donor thing... just don't seem natural... but how about dog food(after reasonable tests to ensure the corpse won't make Fido sick, of course)?
Oh, and I won't be president. The presidential position has become little more than a broken rudder, figurehead of corporatism position. I will accept nothing more or less than benevolent dictator.
