   Well, guess who's in a rotten mood this morning.

   Absolutely not.  Hell, you give men equal rights, next thing you
know they'll want to stay home while the women go out and earn a living.

   Choice?  Nope, can't stand it.  I don't want any choices.  Choices
just get people upset trying to decide, and I hate it when people are
upset.  We should all live under the absolute reign of an enlightened
despot.  No more choices about anything.

   Nope, can't stand it.  Sorry, but if kids can't keep their own
parents, they deserve to live out their miserable lives in an
orphanage.  Adoption is just coddling these little brats.  Jeez, you
reward them this way, don't you think they'll spend their lives doing
the same thing?

   Sure.  Heck, why limit it?  I mean, every relationship is
essentially contractual, isn't it?  Everyone ought to be able to
terminate any relationship any time.  Hit someone with your car?  Just
terminate the driver/victim relationship.  Sure, they lose your
insurance payment, but you lose your rights as the guy who ran them
over.  Seems fair.

   Haven't heard enough    [X]

   "I guess you could say I'm a teleological existential atheist."

>8.) What political party are you affiliated with?
>Democratic         [ ]
>Republican         [ ]

   None of the above   [X]
