If the dull substance of my flesh were thought,
Injurious distance should not stop my way;
For then despite of space I would be brought,
From limits far remote where thou dost stay.
No matter then although my foot did stand
Upon the farthest earth removed from thee;
For nimble thought can jump both sea and land
As soon as think the place where he would be.
But ah! thought kills me that I am not thought,
To leap large lengths of miles when thou art gone,
But that so much of earth and water wrought
I must attend time's leisure with my moan,
Receiving nought by elements so slow
But heavy tears, badges of either's woe.

Death penalty: I've always been strongly against it. However appalling the crimes committed hanging/electrocuting/injecting the perpetrator won't reverse it's effects: the murder victim will still be dead.
Abortion: I'm all for choice. A woman's body is her own business, what right does a man, or indeed a governing body/committe, have to decide?
The legalization of drugs: I'm torn on this one. My father has M.S. and cannabis has/is being proven to help ease the symptoms, so to keep it illegal is highly likely to condemn innocent people to a life of agony. So I suppose I'm for it's legalisation. As for the others, ones that have no medicinal properties, I'm against it.
Censorship: I'm fervently censorship: ideas are wonderful things. What have you got to hide?
Pre-marital sex: I've got nothing against it ;)
RU-486 and the morning-after pill. Should they be legalized and more readily available?: Isn't the morning after pill already legal?
President Bush: I'm very anti. I wouldn't normally comment on the leader of another country but he took the whole world to war, has destroyed thousands of lives and is about to do it all over again. I will never find anything good to say about that abomination.
General political leanings: I suppose I'd classify myself as a liberal. I don't have any particular allegiance, I vote more on a sense of justice. I've never really been able to comprehend how anyone can be utterly aligned to one movement since can generally find the odd policy or two in a manifesto that appeals to me, whoever's it may be (BNP excepted).
Feminism: I don't see how it is possible to be a woman and not be a feminist. The world is still appalling biased towards the advancement of men and against women.
Homosexual marriage: What's the difference?
How do you feel about gays in the military? As boy scout leaders? As teachers? As church leaders?: Put up a valid argument against and then I'll dignify that with a response.
Would you say you are more racist or more open-minded about other peoples' races and cultures?: I'm open-minded.
Do you look down on foreigners? (Are you a Xenophobe)?: I love other cultures.
Should church & state be separate?: I think so.
God?: Yes. Although I don't believe in creationism. I believe god didn't create the garden, He is the garden.
