Pharmacists should be required to fill birth-control prescriptions.

If they do not like dispensing drugs, they are free to go sweep streets of trade stocks.

The United States' strategy in Iraq should be to withdraw military forces from Iraq immediately.

Or specify measurable strategic objectives of our presence there.

Barack Obama should not create a cabinet level position to address climate change.

Such a post, to be effective, would require teeth which no politician is willing to give to a new cabinet guy. Otherwise it will be just "environmental whiner in charge" position.

Executive privilege should not extend beyond a president's tenure in office.

Executive privilege is a dangerous and unconstitutional concept straight from a totalitarian playbook. It should not apply at all - not after presidency, not during presidency.

The government that governs least does not govern best.

As with any absolute statements this is patently wrong, since for each government there is one that govern less, until we come to complete anarchy. And that is a disaster.

The federal government is not distributing anti-terrorism funding appropriately.

As with almost everything else in this (Bush's) administration, the anti-terrorism funds were nothing more than handouts to friends and relatives. And the all important "donors"...

Energy policy should have a higher priority than healthcare and entitlement reform in Barack Obama's agenda.

I believe this to be of utmost importance. Both healthcare and entitlements will go down the drain when citizens cannot heat their houses or get from their homes to the shops (which will be empty by t...

The U.S. government should not allow privatization of federal roads and highways.

Two reasons: (1) we have already paid our taxes for it, and (2) critical infrastructure for interstate commerce is responsibility of the federal government.

Open source governance is not a viable concept.

In a very distant future the population will be educated enough, interested enough, and altruistic enough to make open source governance viable.

Barack Obama should not invite Republicans to serve in his administration.

They have stolen enough! Now it is our turn!

It is too early to tell if the invasion of Iraq has been successful.

Since we do not know what is the strategic objective of the invasion, we cannot really say if it was successful. If we wanted to depose Saddam, we were successful. If we wanted to spread democracy, we...

The "Bradley Effect" does not still play a role in American politics.

Apparently not. The polls and the actual results were quite similar this time around.

Sarah Palin had a negative impact on John McCain's candidacy.

I feel that she energized the segment of population that would vote republican no matter what. At the same time, her ignorance, ethical lapses and rabid fundamentalism alienated everyone else...

Social security should not be optional.

Social Security is not a pension plan or an investment option. It is -- or it should be -- a tax on the population designated to help those that cannot help themselves. It doesn't make sense to make ...

The U.S. should maintain trade relations with China.

As if we have any choice... By now both economies are so interleaved, that there is no choice but to continue the relationship. Can anyone imagine implications of no more "Made in China" junk on Wal-M...
