Ultimately I would say i'm against regulations of any kind with bitcoin... but honestly i guess i would depend on the content and context of those regulations.  Not ALL regulations are bad things.

Regulations are most often created to do one of two things:
1) protect the public from unscrupulous actors
2) protect entrenched interest

So it depends.  Regulations written by lobbyists to promote a specific agenda should never exist, but they do.  Many core regulations like "a real estate agent needs a license" are important to protect the public.  I elected not to vote because the world is not as simple as the OPs poll indicates.
