- The rights of the individual are to be protected at all cost. Sometime this becomes very difficult.
- Do unto others with kindness and compassion, understanding full-well that this does not always work out.
- Question "conventional wisdom" as positively as you can. This is called "positive doubt."
- Try to understand that your mind is not the epitome of reality.
There are other ways to live and do business, currently over 6 billion
of them.
- Harming people in order to make money or gain "power" is never a good idea and a poor path for human beings to walk.
- Big business will not conduct itself in an honorable way without
oversight. Corporations are not humans insofar as they do not have
emotions. They are cold-blooded. Unlimited profit is always the outcome
of uncontrolled capitalism.
- Any program that helps people rise up out of misery and despair is a program worth funding.
- Religion and politics don't mix. The selling of religion is not a holy matter. It is right-wing Republican ideology.
- Liberal means open-minded, understanding, generous, charitable,
progressive, requiring the government to help all citizens, not just the
chosen few. Conservative means closed-minded, orthodox, traditional,
tightly dogmatic, unyielding, requiring the government to help only the
rich. I happen to find liberalism more in touch with the human spirit.
- When liberalism is excessive, it generally will cost us a lot of
money. When right-wing conservatism is excessive, it generally will cost
us our freedoms and a whole lot of suffering. I feel it is an honor to
be called a liberal, and will walk that path above the other until I
die. Besides, the other is currently too well tread with right-wing
stooges.
