Ok.  Maybe I have ideas too...let me see... > > Abortion Um.  Surely not as black and white an issue as people generally like to think.  Likely its a bad idea.  I'm sure there are usually better solutions.  I wonder, however, if my opinion that making it illegal would cause as many problems as it solves is the result of my disgust at the attitude of many vocal anti-abortionists and not the result of having looked closely at the issue.  (am I making sense?)
  > Assisted Suicide I don't know but I do sometimes wonder if we take modern medicine just a little too far trying to extend life past the point where we should stop.  Not that I'm against all the very positive advances modern medicine has made but I wonder if we sometimes try to extend life when we can't also extend the quality of life.
  > Death Penalty This is not an issue I've considered much.  I'll go with no opinion.   > Gun Control  Maybe.  The Arrogant Worms do a fun song about this.  I wonder if I can find an appropriate link...
  > God Is there one?  No question in my mind that there is.  I'm not sure if I could say for sure who or what God is however, besides quite a bit bigger than I'm likely to be able to comprehend   > School Uniforms  Sure.  But. Its not a bad idea to have everyone wear something similar but I wouldn't like to be stuck in one of those silly plaid skirts that seem to be the standard school uniform.  I wouldn't mind, however, if a school's uniform was (for example) blue or black jeans or pants with a t-shirt or sweatshirt with the school logo on it.   > Human Genome Project  Depends on how its used.  I guess its kind of early to tell yet
  > Extra Terrestrial Life  Maybe but it annoys me when most writers etc assume that they are/will be bigger, smarter, and scarier than us.
  > Plastic Surgery  what kind of question is this?
  > Creation vs Evolution  Intelligent Design...evolution and related ideas were tools used by a creator.  I don't think we have the whole picture on any of this though.  We can't even see all the details of the tools used much less the one who used them.
  > TV I don't have one
  > The Internet Great for comunication.  (Un?)Fortunately everyone gets a chance to talk (even assorted wackos) Nice for information gathering but it depends what you want to know. Not all there is to life.
