  1. 99% of people aren't right or left on all issues. Some they're on the left, some they're on the right. I'm a man who thinks we need some sort of universal health care, a more progressive tax structure, mobilization on green initiatives and renewable energy, a general disincentive toward greed and selfishness. I'm pro gay marriage and gay adoption. I'm not pro abortion, but I am pro choice (that would be the middle stance on abortion). I think we need stricter gun laws, requiring licensing the way one would to drive a car. I'm strongly in favor of prison reform, and the structural removal of for-profit prisons entirely. I'm pro death penalty, a cardinal sin for anyone on the left, but also think we need a stronger standard for applying it, and forget lethal injection, there is no "gentle" way to execute someone, and a firing squad is far more humane as it's far faster. I could probably list all my positions on give subjects and let someone figure out where I land on the spectrum, it doesn't matter. What matters is what I fight for, what I'm willing to vote for, how far I'm willing to go to see what I want enacted. I'm also a pragmatist, because we don't live in a nation where one side can really ever control things. The left isn't correct about everything, neither is the right. Both sides need the other to function lest we devolve into some authoritarian system where one idea becomes heresy and punishable by the majority. Remember, while we here typically don't like the right's positions on a majority of issues, we still have to live with these people.
