I have a set of beliefs that I always leave open to argument, but I guess you could call it my political views. I'm a Poli Sci major, so you get a butt load of people telling you to pick sides. You are either in one camp or another, but I find that kind of arrogant especially after studying the more philosophical side of politics. The most important thing I learned was that no one has gotten it right. Nobody created the perfect system of beliefs in regards to politics, and I doubt anyone ever will. Politics is something to be critiqued endlessly really.

With that said: I believe in the idea of universal healthcare, and socialized education (up to and through college). I'm pretty relaxed with immigration. I think the war on drugs is dumb. I don't agree with most of the military decisions made by the US (worldwide military aggression, pseudo-imperialist military ideology, etc.) I don't see why gay marriage is even an issue especially when the argument is a legal one. I could probably go on for a while about my views on the vast array of current issues, but I guess if you had to put me somewhere it would be pretty far left.
