Learning is Life, Life is Learning.

I do not believe we are the only intelligence in the universe.

One day we will meet others.

I hope we have internally gotten over our differences that we can face an external civilisation with our heads high.

I also hope we havn't weakened ourselves to much not to be able to face an external threat.

As individuals we make choices. As adults we should take responsiblity for our choices.

Family is an important thing. It is the responsiblity of the parents first and foremost to raise their children. Any assistance from others either from the larger family, friends or society (government/school/hospitals etc) is a bonus. It should not be relied upon nor should it be ignored. Parents should do everything they can to help their children learn and socialise.

The role of government is to help the people. Where possible it fills in the gap, as a capitalist society we tend to be specialists, so we have knowledge gaps that the government should bridge when helping us to educate our children. Social welfare should be to income what public hospitals are to health. The individual should have the choice to take out both private income protection and private health insurance.

Pollution should be viewed as theft. A producer is passing off the cost of cleaning up to someone else.

Education for all should be secular and mixed sex. It should first teach the basics then tools like the ability to ask why? That differences are not in themselves bad. That there is consequences for evey action.

People should have the right to practise their religion and teach themselves outside of school. However no lifestyle even if it is labled a religion should have the right to impose itself negatively on others and vice a versa no lifestyle choice of others should be imposed on the religion.

So while people should have the right to a gay marriage, they do not have the right to make a particular religion marry them.

Equal oppourtunity should not be confused with equal pay.
