OK, so were going to end welfare to increase health care and such? Sounds reasonable, I guess. Maybe poor people should get access to gardens, so they can grow their own food.

I think the punishment against child molesters is way too harsh. And I don't think affirmative action is so bad.

I must agree with Keith. Travis, do you really want to lock away a pedophile permanently for rubbing a child's buttocks? That's unreasonable! And I think AA should be scuttled when covert, systemic discrimination ends; not anytime soon! Oh..Keith, why do you say you're fat? It's not apparent in your photo.
