Re: I knew we were going to end up opposites on this one
Date: 2008-01-10 01:54 am (UTC)Opposed to the minimum wage 'cause I'm a libertarian and I believe it harms more people than it helps.
Still opposed to withdrawal from Iraq, yep.
Opposed to gun-control; libertarian and I strongly disagree that disarming people saves lives; quite the opposite. Taking guns away from Americans is totally unfeasible overall and trying to disarm them just makes life harder on legal citizens. You can make a different case for countries that don't already have tens (if not hundreds) of millions of guns in circulation, but in this country, guns are not going away and the balkanized attempts to disarm law-abiding citizens do no one good.
You pegged me on foreign policy. I would be pro-interventionist if I thought there was a chance in Hell we would do any good at it, but we totally suck at it, everyone hates us when we do it, and no good comes of it. So yeah, feeling pretty cynical about that one.
I can't remember what I picked on the death penalty. I'm ambivalent about it. I think I picked "opposed". One reason: it's massively unevenly enforced. But I generally agree with you about the death penalty.
I oppose government-sponsored environmental intiatives. I think we're going to invent our way into a cleaner and better habitat (working so far, pollution in the US today is SO MUCH less than it was a hundred years ago). Most (but not all!) of the regulatory measures that Congress proposes to "protect" the environment will do, IMAO, more harm than good. No, I'm not willing to give up my computer to protect the environment, nor do I think it's necessary.
And yes, sounds like we agreed on the others you mentioned. :)
