I am in the middle of taking the okcupid test recommended by Rachel, and it is annoying me.
Example:
If a company invents a pill that cures cancer, they should be allowed to charge whatever they want for it.
This is a complicated issue--you cannot just agree or disagree. If a company has no incentive to develop such a cure (being allowed to charge whatever they want) why would they develop it. However, should a lack of money be a reason to deny a person with cancer the pill? Who should foot the bill for health care? I vote McDonald's because they serve craptastic food that causes health issues. But I am being glib. And I probably shouldn't complain about tests on okcupid when I don't even know what political party I belong to.

Results are in, and according to okcupid, I am a Social Moderate (56% permissive)and an Economic Liberal (31% permissive)which is best described as a Democrat. I apparently have a well developed sens of right and wrong (a nice way of saying I am judgmental--totally true)and I believe in economic fairness.
Whatever.

I do not believe marijuana should be legalized and I think that people who think it should are being extremely short sighted. Enough people use pot as it is and legalizing it will mean even more people would use it. I have enough problems living in a college town avoiding drunk drivers, I do not want to add stoned drivers to my list of concerns. I do realize there are stoned drivers, but legalizing drugs is such a bad idea. What do you think?

I do, however, think prostitution should be legalized and regulated by the government.
