Opinions and more

Opinions and comments on both political and religious topics, mainly from the news, but anything in the category is fair game.

Thank you, voters of Massachusetts!

It looks as if the message that Massachusetts voters sent, by electing Scott Brown to the Senate, was picked up. It took a little time, but it looks as if Pelosi et al. have given up.

Want to know about me?

Opinionator: Randolph Hills, Maryland, United States; I find myself uncomfortable with being labeled a liberal or a conservative, though I'm with the conservatives on most of what I call the important issues. But while I can agree with conservatives on economic and foreign-policy issues most of the time, I can't stand the typical conservatives' attitude that they must be able to impose their opinions on religious and social issues on everyone else, and I usually find myself agreeing with the liberals on those religious and social issues anyway. But even dividing the issues into economic versus religious and social, I can't go along with either completely. So I give up on a label. Perhaps I might be termed a libertarian. I'm more comfortable with that label than the others. But many people who call themselves libertarians seem to be anarchists, wanting even things like schools and police forces to be totally private. I can't agree. The government is necessary to provide those things that private enterprise won't, or won't at a price that people can afford. Nobody ought to go without an education or protection from crime, even if they are penniless.
