I'm not perfect. If so, then I wouldn't have forgotten these important tidbits from the last three posts. I plan to do this continually to add new items, every four posts (not counting the first).
The Environment:
Most of the paradoxes only occur when everyone performs those certain activities. The reason why local foods is a paradox is because the countries that produce the non-local grapes and etc. would revert to slash-and-burn farming if their livelihood were suddenly taken away. However, recycling and buying fluorescent lightbulbs is something I high recommend. If possible, attach solar panels or a wind turbine somewhere on your house. Try to help any way you can, without causing paradoxes. In other words, think deeply about the consequences of your actions.
Government and the Economy:
Lawyers should be a governmental service. Big business should be robbed of the advantage of having armies of lawyers. Furthermore, people in non-legislative agencies (CIA, USDA, etc.) should be non-partisan and unbiased. No USDA employees should work for businesses they formerly worked for. In other words, the United States must not become a corporatocracy. Even more simply, business should be completely separate from government.
The voting age should be lowered to 14. I don't really care if my guy doesn't win the election; I just want a chance to actually decide governmental policy.
Senators and representatives should also be much more approachable (i.e. via email and telephone). It is horribly unfair that businesses can lobby and bribe officials into their point of view. Why can't I?
National Security:
The United States must not turn into a police state. Everyone is innocent until proven guilty. No one should be constantly suspected to be a terrorist, and the benefit of the doubt must always be given.
Also, I feel anger at the stupid people who would ruin the reputation of an entire society through their selfish acts. Islam is not a religion promoting self-destruction (I'm Jewish). It is unfair to discriminate against Muslims because of the stupidity of extremists.

P.S. Pegasus Class of 2010 please find me. That means you Tiana, Douglas, and Louisa! Mr. Conti can't be my only follower. I crave intelligent conversation
If there's anything I've learned about politics, it's that it's mostly about opinions. If you have an opinion on an issue, then you can argue about it, and, thus, can be a politician. My views come from a scientific standpoint; one may say the scientists' views. Through this, I came up with the simple name "Raw Political Science." You don't necessarily have to agree with me to read this, and I'd prefer if you didn't agree. Please comment. If you disagree, present your argument politely. Enjoy.
