good qualities they may show aside from the bullying. I just hate 'em. Simple, but the first thing I thought of.

29. No politician currently holding office in this country is free from greed, graft, or corruption.
None of the aforementioned politicians put YOUR best interests above their own.

None of the aforementioned politicians, after having eaten at the public trough for more than 3 terms would escape censure (at the least) or indictment (at the worst) after a thorough and proper non-partisan investigation.

This country would be better off if the entire government from city to county, to state, to federal were suddenly replaced tomorrow.

I hope this post doesn't understate my love and respect for politicians currently holding elected office in this country.

More than one opinion, I know. Sorry.

52. Religion offers more harm than good.
Traditions have no inherent value.

Cultures are not worth preserving, except for those who are entertained by them.

Moral right and wrong are emotions, nothing more, nothing less.

Legal authority is an illusion, unless you consider the word "authority" to be synonymous with the word "violence."

84. Prostitution should be legal.
Make it age-specific for 18 and up.

Tax the hell out of it and use a portion of the proceeds for relief and assistance for the homeless and the under-insured.

Monitor sex workers with significant health care access.

Educate all participants on safe-sex practices.

Let the fundies howl and bellyache.

86. Free Trade and the job offshoring that comes with it are NOT Democratic economic positions.
And no amount of justification is gonna make it so. There is NOTHING Democratic about cheerleading the end of a person's economic viability. Join that other fucking party if you enjoy grave-dancing.

90. Unless there is a power to hold them accountable...
...people at every level will do whatever benefits them as long as they can get away with it.

Law, and therefore government, is not only necessary but highly desirable. Government itself is a good thing, and government which the people can change on a regular basis is a great blessing.

93. hmm,
That ICWA laws should have teeth, if a judge decides to not uphold ICWA he should be removed from his position(at the very least).

Superman is the best superhero, although many just don't realize it yet, but I'm spreading the Kryptonian gospel wherever I go, :)
