if you had to choose an environmental/political view, what would it be?

I was mad when the liberals wanted to block drilling for oil in Alaska during the beginning of George W. Bush's presidency, and now look at our dilemna!  I am very environmentally conscious and bike and walk when I can but I believe extremes will get us nowhere.  We have to look after our pocketbooks AND the environment.  There is a middle ground.  Show me a preservationist who doesn't drive and I will listen to him!

What do you like?\nI like gardening, so I'd do something with plants. different light or water or food/growing medium conditions\n\nI like psychology, so maybe I'd do some kind of test, like the one where people have to read the word red, but it's written in blue etc...\nOr you could try to 'train' a person or animal...\n\nIF you care about the environment, research the impact that certin things have on it, and experiment with changing it, for example, recycling in your school, saving water...\n\n\nMost importantly, do something that interests you.

you seem to be socially conservative... yet very liberal with the environment... \n\nhow far do you believe in the teachers should be paid as much as athletes, ect.? the current system is that salaries are set by the market... do you want to change the system (which would seem to be socialist possibly)... or is it just more of a pet peeve?\n\nthe war issue can go both ways...\n\nit really comes down to which of those issues are more important to you and you would probably lean to that party...

Hm, today is the day for serious answers :) Mine is Global Affairs. Why? Well because I love politics, geographic, travel and I see a world as one country with no borders. I will die before this becomes reality but I will always fight for it.

Vote Al Gore for President.\n\nHe cares more about the enviornment than most people. Bush is all about wars and oil....He could care less if the world turns black.

That's a pretty silly question.\n\nI don't know any Libertarian that claims to be stupid.\n\nIn fact, I'm a Libertarian. And even though I am open to the possibility that current climate changes could be part of a larger natural climactic cycle, I still feel that global warming is most likely due to the effects that humans and pollution have on the environment.\n\nAs a Libertarian, there aren't very many things at all that I feel should trump personal freedom and personal choice, but if I had to pick one thing to trump those, it would definitely be protecting the environment from permanent, irreversible damage.

If you want to provide him with a "broader point of view" why did you limit the choices to Democrats and Republicans?  Here's wha tI would tell the kid:  Most people want the same things, but some have different priorities.  A Green is someone who is willing to work hard for really clean air and water.  A Libertarian  is someone is who is willing to work hard to let everyone reach their full potential.  A Republican is someone who is willing to work hard to catch bad people.  A Democrat is someone who is willing to work hard to help the poor.  Those are short answers, but hopefully you get the idea.  I'd recommend having him read each party's platform.

A mess.  Our society would be alot better off if we tried to equalize the money a bit.  We are not making much headway doing it the way we are.  I would be willing to join a political party that thinks we should take care of our own country and it's people.  Global warming and the loss of fish, other animals and the state of our rainforests really has me worried.  And I am ashamed that we as a country have not learned to be above war.

"Civility" or "Human Citizenship"  - (Dorky names, but I'll explain the concept)\n\nIf everyone concentrated on what it takes to be civil with one another, instead of forcing an abstract belief on one another, then the world would be a better place.\n\nThe tenants would include the improvement and advancement of personal ethics, community soveriegnty, environmental ethics, essential human rights, and sexual responsibility.  I'd like to throw in an "anti-cell phone while driving" agenda, but that's just a selfish wish.   It would not include any threats or promises of an afterlife, nor any divinely inspired text.  These seem to be distractions to what is really important, which is the growth and strength of personal ethics based on what's good for the community (both local and the world).
