I have run this by Charlene Hall, and she approved me posting this: The organization of which I am Director, the research arm of a nonprofit organization, is conducting a survey on attitudes toward various different ways of connecting hotly-debated issues, which are the death penalty, the Iraq war, and abortion. We are seeking people from a wide range of views, both for and against each of these issues, as is reflected in the survey itself. The survey is at: www.surveymethods.com/EndUser.aspx?D5F19D85D59F878EIf you have any questions, you can get back to me at drmacnair@hotmail.com, and anyone who wants a copy of the results of the survey can send a blank email to admin@rachelmacnair.com with "Heated Debates Survey" in the subject line. -- Rachel M. MacNair, Ph.D. Director, Institute for Integrated Social Analysis

Mission statement from Dr. McNair's website:"Mission: We are committed to the protection of life, which is threatened in today's world by war, abortion, poverty, racism, capital punishment and euthanasia. We believe that these issues are linked under a 'consistent ethic of life'. We challenge those working on all or some of these issues to maintain a cooperative spirit of peace, reconciliation, and respect in protecting the unprotected." Draw your own conclusions.

Good luck Dr. but I believe you have an agenda and I will not participate. Neither will I. I participated. Each set of questions has a place where you may comment on the introductory paragraph and your response to it.

Nah, those you've met so far have been the fasionable adherents to socialism. The real ones have no problem with war, the death penalty, or abortion. Or famine.

According to page 7, one suggestion is to use abortion as a means of premeditated death penalty! Sounds pro-abortion to me. In terms of knowing socialists that are anti-dp, pro-abortion, and against Iraq, my co-workers fits the bill. She worships Obama because he is going to spread the wealth around, she feels "very strong for abortion," and wants to preserve every POS.

Go on, do something daring, have ago and have fun . You have nothing to fear but fear itself .

It's gauging people's reactions to various statements, not necessarily saying that they as an organization believe what was in that paragraph. Cali reposted their mission statement in his reply. They're anti-abortion. Hmm. I like Obama. I'm anti-dp. I don't like abortion but I am pro-choice unless society were to get a major overhaul. Also, FYI, the tax system has always been "socialist". We've been spreading the wealth long before Obama said so.

The first actions that began to use the income tax as wealth redistribution (instead of garnering funds to run the federal government, which was it's initial and correct purpose) began after WWII. An interesting study question might be "how did the federal government manage to support itself before the 16th Amendment?"

At any rate, it's been socialist long before Obama said anything...contrary to what some republicans would like to think.
