greybetaAs a preface, I happen to believe that all political/religious views can be summed up in two sentences. If you can't pare it down to two sentences, you don't really know what you believe. Which is fine, perhaps this exercise in reductionist theory will help you discover what you truly believe.
The Rules:
1. Comment with two sentences that define your position on the matter.
2. If you can get it one sentence, more power to you! ^_^
3. If you have a question about someone's two sentences, comment and ask! But ask nicely, or I will summarily delete your comment.
4. If you feel the dire need to explain those two sentences, bold the two sentences that define your position. I will summarily delete all comments that do not follow this rule.
5. I reserve the right to summarily delete any comment that I feel breaks the spirit of this exercise.
Of course, I'll always start off. Since we've already done same-sex marriage and abortion, it's time to hit another big one.
What's your position on privacy?
"I believe that privacy is important but overvalued in American society. No, I don't want people reading my medical history or peeping into my house, but if I'm committing a crime then by all means I would want the government to be able to wiretap me."
