Default When I run for president, this willl be my platform

When I started posting on this site I like many nieve people used the propaganda of m political party to debate my opinions, but now I am much more reasonable and have developed my own beliefs. If I were to run for president (which is what I want to do in 17 years when I turn 35) this would be my platform. Would you vote for me?

(These are in no kind of categories, I just wrote them as I thought of them.)

- I am for more personal freedoms, and less government interference in my life.
- I would like to decrease the size of the government, give them less power.
- I am for lowering taxes if possible.
- I support the 2nd amendment.
- Anyone can come to our country, just do it legally.
- Illegal aliens, that are already here, should be given a chance to become citizens without deportation (because that is a waste of time) but if they do not register by a given date then they will be deported.
- I am pro-life except in certain cases. (rape, health risk to mother)
- I will use common sense and common decency in my decision making.
- I think we should ditch social security. (It's your money, do with it what you wish)
- I think that as long as you are not causing harm to others or the environment, then do what you want. (exception: addicting drugs and stuff i can't think about right now.)
- I would fund the research of alternative fuels.
- Stay out of other countries business unless they are harming or in a position to harm us.
- My religious views tell me that I am opposed to gay marriage, But my political views say,"It's a free country, as long as it doesn't cost me anything, get married if you want to."
- The government should not control smoking laws, except in government buildings, it should be up o the business owner to decide whether or not smoking is allowed in their facility.
- I would like to preserve more national wildlife areas.
- I think that whether there is global warming or not is irrelevant to the issue, and that we need to work on being a cleaner society no matter what. Lets protect the world we live in. As of now its all we have.
- We need to fix or local justice system.
- In court you can't sue for something stupid. (If a kid trips while running through my yard he can't sue me for his broken leg.)
- If it doesn't harm you or anyone else then don't worry about it. (for instance if heir is a religious icon in a public place, lets not waste our time complaining about it, just don't look at it if it bothers you.)
- I am for the death penalty. (it saves space and money)

Basically I believe in this, "who am I to tell you what to do, if you are bring no harm to others and the environment then go for it." I will stand strong by my beliefs, but I will not be stubborn. If someone makes a valid point that causes me to change my view, then I will admit I was wrong.

I am not a very good writer, so if something is confusing, ask me about it, and I will be glad to elaborate on any issue. I know that I have left stuff out, so if you think of something that I left out tell me and I will give you my opinion.

Any arguments, questions, thoughts, considerations, criticisms are welcome.
