About Me:	I am currently attempting a triple major/single minor degree, and trying to wrap it all up into the four-year norm. Ideally, I'll graduate with my bachelor's in Biochemistry, Cell, and Molecular Biology; International Relations; and Politics, with a minor in Chemistry. The reason for this insanity essentially boils down to the fact that I am perpetually indecisive and can't decide whether to go into genetic engineering or to shoot for an ambassadorship someday. I pride myself on being open to new ideas and world perspectives. While I may not agree with the beliefs of others, I hold that everyone should make a sincere effort to understand the viewpoints of all peoples.
Activities:	I spend most of my time these days studying for classes, but when I manage to escape my textbooks I love to swim, play tennis, read, do the whole nerdy video game thing, and hang out with my friends.
Beliefs:	I have been raised Roman Catholic, though I have issues with several of their precepts. I term myself simply "Spiritual", with my beliefs encompassing aspects of christianity, jainism and spiritism.
Books:	There are really too many to list here, so I've put down some of the authors- Philip Pullman, Tamora Pierce, Elizabeth Kay, Eoin Colfer, Frank Beddor, Cornelia Funke, Brian Jacques, Patricia Wrede, Michael Scott, Ayn Rand, Diane Duane, Suzanne Collins, Cinda Williams Chima, R.A. Salvatore, Garth Nix, D.J. MacHale, Jonathan Stroud, Michael Grant, Cassandra Clare, Orson Scott Card

•	Abortion	N/SComments First off, as a male, the choice to have an abortion is something that I have little right to have an opinion on as is. (unless the child in question is mine) I think abortion should be legal, though discouraged.
•	Affirmative Action	Und
•	Animal Rights	N/S
•	Barack Obama	N/S
•	Border Fence	N/SComments I realize that we are all frustrated with illegal immigration, but putting up a wall is simplistic and unlikely to do more than give Mexico an Olympic rock-climbing team.
•	Capitalism	N/S
•	Civil Unions	Pro
•	Death Penalty	N/SComments Death is an escape, not a punishment.
•	Drug Legalization	Und
•	Electoral College	N/S
•	Environmental Protection	N/SComments The environment will be around a heck of a lot longer than myself, and it would be nice if my children could walk outside without the need of a gas mask.
•	Estate Tax	Und
•	European Union	N/S
•	Euthanasia	Und
•	Federal Reserve	N/S
•	Flat Tax	Und
•	Free Trade	N/S
•	Gay Marriage	N/SComments I don't necessarily think is needs to be called "marriage", but the legal benefits for homosexual couples must be exactly the same as heterosexual ones.
•	Global Warming Exists	Und
•	Globalization	N/S
•	Gold Standard	N/S
•	Gun Rights	N/SComments I detest all forms of violence, and with guns existing for the purpose of violence, I believe it would be best for guns to be banned completely. However, this is hardly practical and therefore I can't really offer useful insights to the issue.
•	Homeschooling	N/S
•	Internet Censorship	N/S
•	Iran-Iraq War	N/SComments I don't accept war as the solution in any circumstance.
•	Labor Union	Pro
•	Legalized Prostitution	N/S
•	Medicaid & Medicare	N/SComments I would agree that these programs could potentially use some spiffing-up, but I have seen their effects first hand and I hold a great deal of respect for the help and support they give.
•	Medical Marijuana	N/SComments There are far more dangerous drugs out there that are prescribed by doctors, so I fail to see the harm in allowing those that find marijuana beneficial in their treatments to have it prescribed.
•	Military Intervention	N/S
•	Minimum Wage	N/SComments Have you seen those pictures of the sweatshop industries? You have to have some type of a baseline, or the majority of the population ends up living in poverty.
•	National Health Care	Und
•	National Retail Sales Tax	Und
•	Occupy Movement	N/S
•	Progressive Tax	Und
•	Racial Profiling	N/SComments It's racism, plain and simple.
•	Redistribution	N/S
•	Smoking Ban	Und
•	Social Programs	N/SComments The government has a duty to protect its people, and that goes beyond protecting them from foreign nations. And in terms of offering educational programs, what improves the people improves the nation.
•	Social Security	N/SComments Great idea, but not even moderately sustainable as it stands now in the USA.
•	Socialism	N/S
•	Stimulus Spending	N/S
•	Term Limits	Und
•	Torture	N/S
•	United Nations	N/SComments Stop complaining about it's ineffectiveness and offer useful, helpful advice to make it better. It's all we've got.
•	War in Afghanistan	N/SComments I don't accept war as the solution in any circumstance.
•	War on Terror	N/SComments This isn't even really a "war" in the traditional sense, but to call it war is to buy into the idea that war is a solution.
•	Welfare	N/SComments Sometimes people need a helping hand.
