This is a long survey question! OK. I'm in a semi-helpful mood. 1) Independent 2) Over 50 3) White (5 nationalities), Native American (Cree), small percentage Black (no American slave background) 4) NJ, USA 5) Deist 6) A 7) B 8) B 9) D 10) C 11) D 12) Social Security, Health care, College Education 13) B 14) Neither. It's a case by case basis for me. 15) Varying degrees of both. Another case by case basis for me. 16) 5 That wasn't too bad, but there are attempts to categorize things that can not be distilled into simple categories.
