    Abortion?: a painful choice, but nobody's right to deny

    Cloning?: fantastic, sign me up.
    Racism?: unacceptable, though everyone is guilty of every form of categorization - be aware and avoid
    Premarital sex?: probably
    Religion?: usually a metaphor, crutch, or arrogant mistake
    The war in Iraq?: unfair, awful, shameful, un-american (talking ideals, not practice)
    Bush?: an evil and somewhat talented puppet of a fascist, classist minority who happen to be in power
    Downloading music?: fine, as long as you go to shows and buy things from artists you like
    The legal drinking age?: don't care
    Porn?: don't care... except where art rubs up against porn... that's interesting
