Just out of curiousity, how much of your undergraduate study was devoted to the actions of stateless groups on the international scene?
A liberal on social issues? Aren't you one who was posting about having gay marriage "imposed" on you by "activist judges"?

Funny you should ask. I changed my major in 1990 - this was amazing times with Communism collapsing. So we studied this a lot. We also studied all the classics.
But my professor was one of the first people I know of to point out the threat Islamic Fundamentalism could become. He dealt with Khomeni ( sp?) back when he was still in Paris making audio tapes to be broadcasted in Iran.
My professor also warned that US bleeding the Russians in Afganistan would probably come back to haunt us.
I think marriage should be limited to a man and a woman, but there should be laws that allow same sex unions so they get same benefits that would address all the issues the proponents of same sex marriage raise.
Liberal might not be the word. Libertarian. People should be able to do what they want for the most part - as long as they don't violate others rights, and its between consenting adults.
I am also a strict constructionist when it comes to the Constitution, and think judges should interpret the law now make it. I would like to say that I had professors in Law School who beleived the same things, but there were only 2 that I knew of.
