Last night's post was a bit incoherent as it was nearly 3 AM.

I think it would be a good idea to let anyone interested what I think a bit and what my politics and life view are.

1. I am a Democrat.  I have voted for selected Republicans in my time when the Democrat was too crazy to vote for.  I wish some Republicans would do the same.  I think having fairly sane, mostly middle of the road politicians is probably a good thing for both sides and the community.

2. I will not vote for any candidate that is against women's rights, reproductive rights, gay rights, racial equality, and taking care of the poor, elderly and those who cannot or will not care for themselves.  As Jesus said "what you do for the least of these my brothers you do unto me."  I am not a Christian but I 'get' it.  I wish more so called Christians did. A reason I cannot vote for Republicans.

3.  I believe that every child born should be given adequate food, medical care, and all they need to succeed in school.  I don't care who their parents are or where they come from.  I believe raising a generation that has the tools to succeed will grow our economy in a positive way.  Taxes are the way to do this.  My grand-parents and great-grand parents paid their taxes for my schools, roads, infrastructure, clean air and water.  I believe I owe the same to future generations. A reason I cannot vote for Republican's

4.  I don't believe that anyone's religion should be the guiding principle of this nation.  I am a Skeptic not an atheist really.  I can see how religion comforts some, but it should not rule.  A reason I cannot vote for Republicans.

I see fear in the people I talk to that things are changing to fast so they cling to old, outmoded ideas and ideals. The time has come for us to embrace and new world with new ideas and find that it will be better for all, but too many people are afraid of losing...What?  I don't really understand.  I wouldn't go back to the not so good olden days.

I remember them way too well to think that there ever was a Golden Age when taxes were low and everyone knew there place.

So that is my Crazy Train Philosophy/Politics.  Take it or leave it.
