Politically, I consider myself socially liberal and economically conservative. If I was to ascribe to a particular political party it would most likely be the libertarians. For example I am opposed to the Patriot Act I & II, opposed to the DCMA, generally favor legalizing drugs, oppose the death penalty, etc..
One of the social issues that has most upset me over the last half decade or so is the issue of copyright law and its implementation in the digital world. So, for anyone who would like to learn more about this subject; I strongly recommend to you Larry Lessig’s presentation Free Culture. Larry worked for the Electronic Frontier Foundation (eff.org) for a number of years. If you are not willing to fight for your rights, be ready to loose them.
