8. Should marijuana be legalized?

No
It should be legal to possess it only, not to sell it.
Yes, and the government should assume a socialist ownership of the establishments that sell it.
It should be saleable, and the government should help protect the interests of the existing marijuana-selling businesses so they can flourish and grow.
Businesses and individuals should sell it without any regulation, inspection, liability, or accountability for product marketing and representation.
It should be sold freely, but marijuana entrepreneurs shouldn�t be allowed to lie about their products and hurt people by selling them fake weed or not telling them that their weed is laced with a different product.
This is completely a States� Rights issue.

13. Should it be legal in the United States for a woman to go topless at a beach?

No! It�s a threat to morals and an already threatened sense of decency, and, besides, think of what the sight of those breasts is going to do to little kids. I sure hope no one would have to see THAT when they unsuspectingly visited a beach.
Yes. People need to stop being so uptight about the human body (and besides, it�s not even a part involved in sexual reproduction!) -- people will have to learn to live with it instead of having us enforce their objection into law. Grow up, America! Why should Americans be less free than people in Sweden, where no one has a problem with it?
States� Rights, all the way!!!!!

14. Should people be allowed to use the police to interrogate, stop, disperse or arrest (if necessary) people for activity, dress or presence that is not illegal, but personally offends or "intimidates" them, or makes them uncomfortable because it is unconventional?

Yes. I didn�t go out to see those kids with their body piercing, hemp necklaces, exposed navels and spiky hair hanging in large groups with their grating music! I want the police to help me because I�m too intimidated to tell them myself. How free am I if I can�t feel safe walking out of my own home in my own town? How are we going to get people to behave normally if we can�t get the government to lend a helping hand in making sure we all follow the same rules as one society?
No. How would you like to stand there with a cop who won�t let you go, worried sick about whether you�re going to get arrested for something? No one should be harassed by government employees all the time for things that aren�t even (and shouldn�t be) illegal! What ever happened to this being a free country? Whoever said anything about needing to be normal or inoffensive to everyone? People should be allowed to just go about their life as they please with everything that isn�t illegal being legal by default, instead of having one narrow accepted way of doing everything and having everything else be illegal (or at least ripe for suspicion) by default. Government has no place advancing social norms. "They�re weird" is never a good reason to suspect someone -- even Einstein and Galileo would be called weird by you people! Umm, skateboarding is not a crime and all that.

22. The Invisible Hand of the market will:

Provide true freedom of choice, and allow the consumer public to select from a rich diversity of products, encouraging all companies through competition to be the best they can be at creating their product
Spoil the quality and diversity of products through mega-corporations and monopolies run amok, and stifle creativity with the domination of a few easily advertised rich companies, all unwilling to experiment because they�re too concerned about the bottom line

25. Should the government provide funding for art that deals with the erotic and scatological and would likely be considered pornographic?

Yes, they should fund all art, without judging it.
I support federal funding for art, but not that stuff with statues of naked women splattered with blood and feces, or gay men having sex. That kind of pornographic art should be illegal in this country, so we don�t have to worry about whether the artists should work for (and be redeemed for their work by) the government.
The government shouldn�t be subsidizing any art.
Art is pointless and subversive, and undermines a productive society. If I were in charge of the country, I�d ban all art!
