20. What I Believe
I've brought up Ted Kennedy's act at Chappaquiddick in several threads to make a point and to point out what I see as hypocrisy. He actually DID kill someone. I still don't think he belongs in jail.

I am a redemptionista. I believe all people can change. I believe in rehab not jail. If there has to be jails they should be places of redemption and rehabilitation, not pound-of-flesh and not places where you can learn to be even badder. I believe in therapy not Scared Straight. I believe in Community Service when AT ALL possible.

I don't want to send rich RWer's kids off to fight the wars either, another popular theme around here BECAUSE I don't want to send anyone's kids off to fight wars.

I don't believe in the death penalty...at all...ever.

I believe there should be medical care for all and food stamps should never run out because I believe things like a roof, utilities and the other basics are things a society should make sure everyone has. I believe in socialized medicine and I believe in wage and price controls.

I believe in change and connection and love and peace and yes, rock and roll.

Sorry if that makes me not good enough for over here...because I don't want to put some girl's head on a stick and I don't want to rub her face in the mud, shave her head, stomp on her and see blood dripping down her face.

I guess I'm just a terrible liberal...
Lee
