        There is much discussion about the best way to deal with racial
        problems.  Some people think achieving racial integration of schools
        is so important that it justifies busing children to schools out of
        their own neighborhoods.  Others think letting children go to their
        neighborhood schools is so important that they oppose busing.

        Where would you place yourself on this scale, or haven't you thought
        much about this?  (7-POINT SCALE SHOWN TO R)
