Where Do You Fit? Liberal or conservative?

Based on the results of the test I am a Liberal. What the Liberals believe in is that they they are strongly pro-environment and pro-immigration they are also for homosexuality, abortion and censorship. Their defining values are that, they prefer diplomacy over military force. Most of them oppose the anti-terrorism Patriot Act. They approve or gay marriage and environmental protection.

Taggers

Its not fair that police are going to arrest "tagger" just for hanging out and just arrest them without proof that they are a taggers. Trutanich and his staff are thinking of ways of being able to have tagging injunctions but there are waaaayyy to many taggers to be caught. He says that he may not catch them on the act but he will catch them with their friends but he wouldn't know whos a tagger. He won't be able to put every tagger in jail. It is true that just by making these injunctions won't help these people stay out of tagging. The police think it might be a good idea but that they won't know the difference between a hard-core gangsters that tag from the ones that are low-level taggers. Even a police officers said that after the arrest them where are they going to go, are they going to go to an organization that will give them counseling or are we just going to keep arresting them. They don't even know what they are going to do with them after they arrest them. This is why the tagging injuctions won't work.

physical abuse(domestic violence)

In the article that I was reading it was saying that physical abuse starts off little by little not just right away. In many of these situations in the main thing is to leave the house but for many women this is very hard because the husband usually threatens the women or they would use these methods, "intimidation, male privilege (or making it seem like the man can be the only one to make the 'big' decisions), using the kids by threatening to take them away or making the woman feel guilty or telling her he'll hurt them." Many families end up broken and can never be fix because of this. The husbands might change but it would take them long but the damage to the women is permanent. The scars and bruises will go away in time but the emotional damage will stay with them for a long time or until they get the help that will change that.
