You could call me a Socialist I won't deny it.

I"m anti war, anti monopoly, I believe there is enough to go around and that abundance is by definition not a pie where everyone has to take a smaller slice so more can be served. I think folks should be able to marry whom they love and wish to publicly declare as their family, I believe that spirituality or religion is very important but has no place in government; that said, morality does. I don't like to see the Ten Commandments posted in courthouses and I believe if one really wants to they should be able to burn the flag. I believe in a woman's right to choose, not because I don't love children but because I KNOW women will choose to have abortions whether they are legal or not and it behooves us as members of an "enlightened" society to allow for a safer alternative. I believe the real issue regarding abortion in this country is about the fact that our puritan background still has a huge hold on our culture. Everyone is having sex but most people are whistling in the dark.That said, I believe monogamy is unrealistic given that we live much longer than we did even 50 years ago. I do not believe Jesus died for my sins but if you do that's awesome. I believe in religion as allegory and not literal truth. I believe in diversity, not just in the color of our collective skins but in our collective thoughts. I believe the cause of all evil is pure unmitigated FEAR. I believe that each of us is part of a divine whole and that we are here to learn how to come together and reunite with Divinity. I believe it is immoral to live in a palace when others have no homes. I'm not asking you to move out of your mcmansion, I'm certain you earned it, but who needs a 20 car garage? I believe it's immoral to charge and or to pay a car payment that is bigger than a mortgage payment. Really do you *need* an Pick up truck made by Cadillac? Now I'm not saying, if you have earned the money and can afford to pay for luxury that you shouldn't. By all means enjoy the fruits of your labor. That is if the fruits of your labor really *are* the fruits of your labor. If your monetary wealth is made off the back of someone else then the least we can do as a nation that provides us the opportunity to earn unlimited wealth is to provide for the least among us to have a minimum standard of living.
