I am for punishing companies that move overseas

Wow......that is a wide range of viewpoints. I like an open mind. Welcome and jump right in.

I am for an Apollo program to explore alternative forms of energy.

This one really interests me, as I don't think we've had a discussion on it before.

Welcome aboard, gambit. That's quite an interesting list you have there. I'm with you on most of them, but I have to disagree on the immigrant and border security things, perhaps because I grew up on the Texas-Mexico border. I love and respect border culture, despite its horrific problems. The worst of them, the drug wars, are a direct result of our stupid drug policies.

I can't quite go with you on overturning Roe v Wade, however. Like Bill Clinton, I think abortion should be safe, legal, and rare.

I like the idea of a renewed space initiative. Really.

Wecome gambit. I look forward to debating how you arrive at your views with what I see are apparent contradictions, but I am anxious to hear your reasoning. Perhaps we can both learn something. ;)
