		<description>&lt;p&gt;Don&#039;t work too hard on it.  I nailed my point quite a while ago.&lt;/p&gt;

Every bird in that pen walks like a duck, quacks like a duck, looks like a duck, and has the complete genetic configuration of a duck.

People can call them ostriches if that works for them.</description>

		<description>Addendum: Upon closer inspection...

I cannot support these two items. The first violates my position on freedom of speech, the second I cannot back because I am opposed to affirmative action and reparations.

• ...and the outlawing of oral and written racist propaganda;
• Implementation of affirmative action and compensatory programs to achieve actual equality for the racially and nationally oppressed and women;</description>

		<description>About the highlighter:  Actually, I can&#039;t see any point I couldn&#039;t support in general.  I might withold judgement on some of the international trade items, because I don&#039;t feel very qualified in that area, and I might quibble on percentages and rates (I believe in gradual change).  But on the whole, I would adopt all three of these programs.</description>

		<description>Actually, I liked all three.  I can&#039;t give any a complete thumbs up, the same comment I made about the list from a few days ago because I haven&#039;t checked out every single bullet and studied it intensely, and worked out all the consequences.

But at first glance, I like all three.  If conservatives find these lists anathema (not a minor objection here and there, but total, violent disagreement), then so much the better.  Anything they hate can&#039;t be all bad. 

And if one of them is CPUSA, then so be it.</description>

		<description>&lt;p&gt;I wouldn&#039;t mind seeing it.&lt;/p&gt;

It might be more fun to post your questions first, and see how people here answer them.</description>

		<description>&lt;p&gt;A little hint:&lt;/p&gt;

One of these lists was linked here a short time ago: the &quot;Citizen Agenda.&quot;  That list met with the enthusiastic approval of liberal posters here.  Another list is the agenda of the Democratic Progressive Caucus.

The remaining list is from the American Communist Party website.

The first one should be easy, since it was posted not long ago.  There&#039;s a fifty-fifty chance of guessing right on the other two.</description>

		<description>&lt;p&gt;That reminds me...&lt;/p&gt;

Back in high school, representatives from the Democrat, Republican, and Libertarian parties came to visit my Govt/Econ class, and gave lectures on their respective parties and their stance.  I also asked each representative a list of question about various issues (same list for each guy).  I think I still have the thing filed away somewhere; and if you guys want,  I could upload the thing here.  Y&#039;alls would probably enjoy it (I thought the republican responses were quite amusing, myself).</description>
