Inherit The Wind

I really don't quote means but my interpretation of it is that whoever makes trouble will have it come back to them. I got this because Brown is making trouble for his family which will in the end lead to him losing what is important to him like his daughter.

Political Spectrum

According to the test I took I am a left libertarian, which is a person who believes in personal liberties. I wasn't surprised I always thought that I had liberal beliefs. I has a lot to do with freedom of say gay marriage or abortion which I believe should all the choice of the individual which again shows that I am far from conservative. I never really thought of my thoughts as "radical" but I guess to some people they are.

Sex, Drugs, and Consenting Adults

Legalization of Prostitution:
I think this issue is morally wrong and should be illegal, but i can see how in some cases people would want it to be legal. Some of the big issues with prostitution is the spread of STDs and pregnancy. If prostitution were to be legalized, i think there would have to be laws that surround the act itself, such as abuse, and age limits. I guess if some people just chose to have sex, there really isn't a difference between having casual sex and just getting paid for it. However my personal beliefs that go with that is that casual sex is wrong, but it is my religion that says that in the first place so I can see how to other people it would not be wrong. Its a hard issue to take a side on especially if you can see both sides of the story.

Legalization of Marijuana:
To me marijuana is killing your body as much as cigarettes and alcohol are and they aren't illegal. I can see how this would bother people. I think also that if it was legalized, less people would feel the need to do it becasue it really is only so wanted because it's illegal. The idea that its a victimless crime? I'm not so sure if that's true, because yes it is going only into one person's body but the people that are being effected by it, are the family members who lose things that they may need because of this addiction. Again though, the same occurance can happen for those who smoke cigarettes or drink too. It's an addiction and in my opinion, they should either all be legalized, or none.

Illegalizing Porn:
In my opinion, if people aren't getting any from someone, it's not a big deal if they watch someone else getting it on. I can understand how it would be wrong if it gets to be an addiction, but I don't see how that could happen. People make millions of dollars in the porn industry and if that's what they want to do with their lives, then they can go do that. Masterbation is another religious issue so i don't think it should come into play in our laws. Its not hurting anyone to watch someone else have sex, so i think it's ridiculous that these places are being closed down. In this way, people are taking care of themselves in the privacy of their own homes, without hurting anyone around them, getting anyone pregnant, or spreading any STDs, sounds like it works to me.

Intelligent Design

I really don't see what the big deal is with intelligent design vs evolution. I believe in seperation of church and state. All though I am religious, there's proof of evolution and I don't see how someone can deny that. Just because there is proof of evolution, however, it does not just end religion, why can't they both be true? My belief is that it is the church's job to teach religion, but because there are many different religions in our country, who are we to teach ONE religion at a a school and say it is the right one. There could be a class that taught about different religions, but it is the choice of the student whether they want to take it or not. I think evolution should be taught in schools it is a proven theory, and the choice of the student whether to believe it or not. By stopping our school's from teaching evolution and just teaching intelligent design, where is the line that crosses between our freedom of religion and the seperation of church and state? If someone wants their kid to only learn about religion then they can go to a religious based school, but in the public school system, it is the job of the teachers and school board to be open to all religious believes and to make it's students aware of the scientific version of things, religious beliefs are from there, the choice of the student.

Should Promoting Democracy Abroad Be a Top US Priority

After reading the packet on democracy they both seem to promote it but it is decided whether it is a top priority or not. The idea that the whole world could be a democracy is a possibility but not a reality. Different religions and believes alone can effect the way the country is run. Though we can make a difference and fix things in the world if the country is unwilling to change then what can be done? Iraq is the biggest object in the way, it seems that both agree we must stay the course to change things there. The future could go either way in this country though. At this point our efforts seem pointless to me, but then again I don't know all the facts so i couldn't really make a direct statement on the changes there.
