I am a non denominational Christian/Baháʼí 

I sort of get what Donald Trump was trying to do with his Garden of American Heroes idea and I don't like writing what I am about to write, but as a concerned citizen I must.  I am strongly against The National Garden of American Heroes being created.  The federal government (including our Presidents) should not tell us who our historical heroes should be and should not force these names upon us. Who decides who is great? What right does our government have to do such things?  It's bad enough there is a Library of congress which houses films that the government tells us we should like and the medal of honors, which is sketchy and blurs the line between tolerable and being as ignorant and totalitarian as The Garden of American Heroes idea is just overkill, unneeded, politically pointy and anti democratic.

The LA Times was wrong to tell people to stop consuming so much to stop the supply chain problems  Limiting consumption is the worst way to fix those problems.

The Washington Post opinion piece dont-rant-about-short-staffed-stores-supply-chain-woes-try-lower-expectations/ article is wrong , divisive, ignorant and they should apologize for it

I am between against seat belt laws for front seat and back seat passengers 15 and above (with preference for drivers who aren't wearing seat belts who get in accidents get penalized by their insurers not the police and me supporting primary seat belt laws for all passengers in the front and back seats under 15) and me supporting secondary seat belt laws for all passengers with me wanting less penalty for people who don't wear seat belts but at the same time, driving speeds reduced, roads made better to cause less accidents and better more safer automobiles to be made to balance that.

I support removing red light cameras. Less spying on citizens by the gov the better

I am a neo luddite in at least some cases 

I want video games to be as hard now as they were in the 1980s and 1990s (ie cheap level design, not telling the player where to go, unfair gameplay etc, ie Nintendo Hard). This teaches players how to overcome obstacles ,rewards players who keep going and instills values.

I am between tending to be against gambling being legal and generally not believing that people should gamble Gambling is a sin and me being against people gambling. Gambling is wrong and while it should be legal for regulation reasons, it should be regulated through the roof
