    1. male
    2. 17 (18 very soon)
    3. a. White/Caucasian/not of Hispanic origin
    4. h. none / atheist (nonreligious) (raised c. Catholic)
    5. c. $70k-$99k
    6. a. high school or less (currently a senior)
    7. State of residence: Missouri.
    8. car that I drive: Saturn SL
    9. I generally vote: a. Democratic (This November I plan to vote for a Democrat for the U.S. Senate and House of Representatives but probably third-party candidates for state senate and house.)
    10. a. pure liberal (Why is there no moderate choice? I'm a moderate liberal.)
    11. prayer in public schools: No!
    12. gays in the miltary: yes
    13. defense spending: keep the same (If it weren't for September 11, I'd say lower it.)
    14. spending on welfare/guarantee good standard of living: same
    15. government regulation of business: increase (Bush's (FCC's) deregulation of, for example, DSL and and cable Internet access hurts consumers when there is no real competition.)
    16. situation in Iraq: do not support war (currently)
    17. bilingual education programs: support
    18. American with Disabilities Act: agree
    19. provisions of the Homeland Security Act: disagree
    20. provisions of the Women's Health Office Act: agree
    21. provisions of Urban Sprawl and Smart Growth Study Act: undecided
    22. provisions of the Durant-Davis Mass Transit Act: I plea ignorant.

    To be honest, I had to look up what the last three were about (I could kind of guess what the Women's Health Office Act and Urban Sprawl and Smart Growth Study Act would be about), but I could not find any information about a "Durant-Davis Mass Transit Act." Looking in the U.S. House and Senate listings, I see no Durant in Congress right now.

        Don't know.  Rather moderate.
    11. prayer in public schools:
        If they want to allot time for prayer and let you do as you wish with that time then I'm fine.  However, it should not be done out loud (i.e. over the intercom.)
    12. gays in the military    yes
    13. defense spending:
        Decrease.  I think that if we better managed the money that we spend on defenses now then we could get more done with less money.
    14. spending on welfare/guarantee good standard of living:
        same - but have tougher restrictions to stop freeloading
    15. government regulation of buisiness:
        decrease - Tighten enforcement of current laws (Enron).  Don't interfere with technology and such (DMCA, DRM).
    16. situation in iraq:
        war as last resort
    17. bilingual education programs:
        No.  If I moved to a foreign country I would expect to have to learn their language.
    18. Americans with Disabilities Act:  uninformed

    20. provisions of the Women's Health Office Act:  uninformed
