1.) Do you think people should be able to vote, even if they are uninformed about the issues/candidate? It's the perrogative of the candidate to inform the people as they will, and perrogative of the people to inform themselves. It's the people who reap the results of uninformed decisions, so if they feel the need to blindly vote on issues they know nothing about, it's no issue to me.
2.) What is your opinion on preferential hiring/quotas/affirmative action? I think they're an attempt to solve a long-standing problem, but I don't believe it's quite the right course of action for the problem.
3.) Do you trust our government? Do you think that the general population trusts our government? Insofar as I trust in the individual goodness of people. I do, however, think the government is an institution that is easily corrupted and bent by those who desire it. Largely, I think "the people" trust the government out of necessity; if they didn't, more action would have

1. Yes. 2. I would like to say that preferential hiring/quotas/affirmative action are inappropriate and unnecessary, but at the same time, I don't trust that everyone would follow hiring practices that weren't blatantly racist/sexist/other ist. 3. No. No. 4. No, but it is a complex thing. beyond one generation of equal opportunity, it isn't equal opportunity because some have more resources than others, so is it really equal opportunity? You can't create truly equal opportunity. 5. No. 6. Yes. 7. The government should provide some aid. Ideally, society would take care of itself without involving the government...but given the two alternatives, the government should provide aid. 8. Of course. 9. Neither. 10. Not consciously.
