I think you're points are pretty good over all, so if I'm not commenting on it it's cause I don't disagree or have nothing to add.
b. I know. It makes me sad.
c. It's true that in cities, the minorities are primarily the poor. But that's not true every else necessarily. The rural or semi-rural white poor are a very existent group, I've got friends from that background, and I think they deserve the same help as anyone else trying to come from a background that makes it hard to succeed.
d. I know it's a bit of a fallacy. I'll add that I tend to change my mind on the death penalty from time to time. But actually, the reason I tend to oppose it is actually not at all humane and not related to murder. I just think that a lifetime in our prison system is far, far worse punishment than death and that the worst criminals deserve every minute of it.
f. You got me mixed up - I think it's retarded that we're wasting time with gay marriage on a national level, I think that it should be legal and that's that and that the people who don't like it should get the hell over it since it's not like it effects them. I know that this is close minded of me, blah blah blah. Taxes, on the other hand, is a real and serious issue, to me. Like I said, I know different strokes for different folks. And it's all free speech, so they can talk about these issues as much as they want, but that doesn't mean I have to respect it. ;)
