Your death penalty answer contained some errors: Someone who has been proven without a doubt to be a rapist or murderer doesn't deserve to have my mother's tax dollars supporting his life. First of all, rapists can't get the death penalty. The supreme court decided that only murderers can get it. Second of all, you can't make a financial argument for the death penalty, because surprisingly, with the cost of lawyers, appeals hearings, ect. it actually costs more to execute someone than it does to put them in jail for life in most cases.
Other than that, I really liked the rest of your application. Your opinions make you sound much more like a liberal democrat than a libertarian though:) A libertarian would never vote for Ralph Nader, seeing as libertarians think government should be as small as possible and the Green Party, being very liberal, believes in a larger government.
I agree with dspin86... your DP answer was off-mark. Oh well.
Overall, I liked your app. YES.
Also, somewhere in the original texts of the bible, the first few lines of Genesis can be strictly translated as referring to multiple gods, with one supreme god holding power over all. It sort of creates that "i'm better than you" feel. It's also believed that this was stolen from the hierarchy of gods that the Greeks and Romans believed in.
Overall I liked your application... I liked your answer to #12 because that's pretty much how I feel about that issue. I also like Willy Wonka a lot... (totally off topic - what do you think about the new one with Johnny Depp as Willy Wonka?)
I'm fond of the idea. While I was hesitant at first to accept anyone but Mr. Wilder in the role, I think Johnny could do it. There has to be real acting merit there to play that part, silly or no.
