clarence on the Dog Issue

I was proud to support Senator Nix's Freedom to Eat Act and I stand by those sentiments... I do not believe that the issue of an overwhelming majority believing something is immoral should be justification for law against it. If that were the case- gay marriage, drug legalization, integration, etc would have all been delayed or negated. I do not believe that- provided dogs who are killed for consumption are done so humanely- there is a societal interest or compelling reason to ban that practice. Some cultures include dogs in their diet- I see no reason to impede that. There are some practices I find disgusting but which should not be illegal. I would not personally eat dog but that would not lead me to deny any one else the right to do so...

I understand this is not the answer you are looking for- but if legislation were to pass such as Senator Nix's Freedom to Eat Act, I would sign it

I am sure some one whose culture includes eating dogs would feel the same about any one attempting to ban consumption!

I will tell you that I frankly consider the issue to be far down on the list of important issues to address... while it was the first one Matt and I have been questioned about, it will not be a priority

Agreed, it is not a priority for me either, also I, and I'm sure Clarence would enjoy questions about more current issues.

Every issue is a current issue. Notice the talk about repealing good laws that weren't assumed to be issues only a few weeks ago? This could very well reemerge and dog lovers demand answers. FTR, I was briefly a member of the I Love Puppies Party and I worked on the Canine Protection Act with Bgwah so the issue is important to many of us. Smiley

I recognize that which is whyI give each issue its due attention... including this one. I am simply stating that it won't be a priority for a clarence/Matt administration

What is your infrastructure vision for Atlasia in the future?
One of my regrets is not getting a bill done with Kalwejt and Snowguy... but this was a major issue in my special Senate election specifically in terms of transportation. I know "looking to Europe" is sometimes frowned upon,but this is one area in which we must- the infrastructure over there is exceptional and it is maintained by commitment of the national govt. Whether that is in the execution or simply supervision and division of regional projects I am not yet sure...

Infrastructure is an important initiative for two reasons- it provides jobs and improves lives. Adding two lanes to a highway where needed is not a frivolous project... it will reap benefits for decades to come. In terms of specific areas of need for construction or renovation- I can't speak to that but I will tell you a priority will be mass transit and high speed rail...good for the environment and for meeting citizen's needs. The transportation in Germany in particular is a model for what it would look like here- and while that cannot be done in one term, we can set the wheels in motion

Yes, I believe we need an overhaul of some kind when it comes to transportation in this country. I know that the Northeast region already has a very good High Speed rail system, and a High Speed Rail System is currently being debated in the Mideast Region. If we then start connecting the regions, it could reap great economic and transportational gains. As Clarence said, I know of numerous areas in this country that need something, just as simple as extra lanes for the interstate that runs through their city or town. Also many roads, particularly those in areas which experience tough winters annually, are in need of repair. Also, we must not forget our rural areas when discussing highway improvements, trust me I speak from experience, when I say that some roads in rural areas of our country are in brutal condition. For minor roads, I think it should be left to the transportation departments of the respective states and regions. Basically I believe our transportation system needs an overhaul to be more efficient, and environmentally friendly, and to provide those who cannot afford an automobile, or those who are having a hard time paying to fill their car at the pump, with free or inexpensive public transportation.

I didn't mean to sound accusatory, I appreciate the swift response even though i disagree with your position. I just wanted to remind Matt that often times things that don't seem like they will be an issue pop up out of nowhere. In fact, the Canine Protection Act received little to no opposition, so the fact that the Freedom to Eat Act showed up out of nowhere took a lot of us by surprise. Even something that seems like a non-issue now could be the next big deal tomorrow. Such is Atlasia. Smiley

I'm sorry if I came off as dismissive, I certainly wasn't trying to. And I understand this could be an issue that will pop up again in a Clarence/Matt administration. Smiley

I'm ecstatic that at least one candidate in the race still supports freedoms of those with different cultural habits, I'm just sorry I couldn't have endorsed this ticket sooner.

I am sure some one whose culture includes eating dogs would feel the same about any one attempting to ban consumption!

Anyone who eats dogs is a savage, and if they wish to join our society they should leave their savage ways behind.

I am a dog lover myself and I find the consumption of dogs repulsive... but I am sure you and I agree that some one whose morality designates gay marriage as savagery shouldn't use that metric to oppose the rights of those people to do as they please...likewise- despite my personal opposition to this practice, I believe it is a freedom that those who choose to practice this humanely

Gay marriage is not savagery. And that is not my opinion - it is a fact.

Others would say it is savagery and is a fact -taking Directly from the Bible

Questions for me and Clarence?

We'd be more than happy to answer them. Smiley

Also my thoughts on the drug war, and debate:

I look forward to engaging in debate with DemPGH, it will be a challenging ordeal, but I'll do my best to come prepared. Anyway not sure where Clarence stands in this issue, but I know I stand with Israel. I hope they keep in mind the possible impact that air strikes like those of this past weekend could have on civilians, but I believe standing up to Hezbollah is a major priority. Of course I oppose any type of air/drone strikes when they put civilians in harms way, but while we can tell them we are displeased with a particular action, I believe it is very important to support our truest ally in the Middle East.
