My personal musings about anything that gets on my radar screen--heavily dominated by politics.

Obvious Omissions

Last night's list missed two very obvious issues which should be included in the Political pH Test:

GUNS 0: outlaw all assault weapons; strong curbs on handguns; ownership very restricted; 1: some curbs on assault weapons; favor waiting period; prefer enforcement of existing laws; 2: restrictions only for criminals; Second Amendment absolute

GAY RIGHTS 0: favor gay marriage; extend insurance coverage to transsexual alterations; 1: may favor civil unions; mostly a private issue; 2: opposed to any official recognition of gay relationships; see homosexuality as an aberration

Not my most eloquent descriptions, but you get the idea. Perhaps others will find better ways to delineate these differences.
