You said "extreme views." Yet you so far agree 40% of what you cite as being extreme is not by your own admission.

CCW permits. 70% of the States issue CCW permits. Is this an "extreme view" by society's standards? Nope

I think that brings us up to 60% of your "extreme values" not being so extreme after all.....

I beg to differ. The appendix on the end of each point is there to indicate an emphasis on the extremity of the position. All of those points I name,, I believe that they are very extreme positions hence my interest in having someone who adopts those positions explain to me why they do so.
Where in Pts 2/3 I say Not Too extreme? thats an expression of disbelief; not an affirmation of validity. same with pt 2. I use those appendix to emphasize my lack of belief.
As for Pts 3; that is a law that is so vigorously lobbied by the NRA and other groups that in smaller states where they as a lobby group can sway a significant portion of the population of the rural areas then they are able to provide the Gun lobby with enough votes to produce legislation that allows carry laws to exist. Sort of like gerrymandering a legislative district like Tom DeLay is famous for.

You quoted Wayne as saying: "Eliminate the social safety net; leave the poor people with nothing?"

Please give link to this quote. I do not see this....Colin

Last one. Show me a poll where an "extreme" number of people have not either paid someone in cash or not worked on a cash-only basis or do not support such a system......Colin
