@ican711nm,
For those who don't like posts containing color!
CYCL: I believe that superficial characteristics of all people, whether it be skin color, height, weight, gross strength, sexual orientation, creed or religion, should be no reason whatsoever not to give everyone the exact same rights, in both the letter of the law and the spirit.
ICAN: I agree!
CYCL: I believe that the strongest possible financial and social systems will be ones that encourage both competition AND cooperation. It is foolish to promote one over the other; both in equal part are necessary for success.
ICAN: I agree!
CYCL: I believe that the USA, and by extension, Us, are no more special or blessed in history's eyes than all the others who claimed they were special or blessed in history's eyes.
ICAN: I believe that those of us living in the USA are blessed to be living in the USA. However, I do not believe that sets us above any other human beings in the world with regard to deserving better opportunities for better lives.
CYCL: I believe that only through technological advancement and the colonization of space does humanity stand a chance of surviving.
ICAN: I agree!
CYCL: I believe that Greed is a vice, not a virtue.
ICAN: I believe the desire to morally and lawfully earn more is a virtue, and the desire to obtain more otherwise is a vice!
CYCL: [I believe] we should all strive to be generous and helpful to others, not greedy and stingy.
ICAN: I agree! I also believe we should strive for excellence in the achievement of all the moral and lawful objectives we seek to accomplish. I further believe we should strive to morally and lawfully earn the benefits we obtain!
CYCL: I believe that things are going to keep getting better for everyone as society keeps progressing.
ICAN: I disagree! Currently things are not getting better. They are deteriorating primarily because of the current huge increases in fed spending due to redistributions of morally and lawfully earned wealth to those who have not lawfully earned it!
CYCL: I believe that most have not a clue just how much better things are, all around, than they were in the past. I believe the internet is an unbelievably powerful force of good that has yet to even begun to be recognized.
ICAN: I agree!
CYCL: I believe that the right thing to do politically is to elect Democrats, at this time; because they are slightly more in tune with the above beliefs than the Republicans of this time, and somewhat more likely to help see them accomplished.
ICAN: I disagree, because I think too many of the currently elected Democrats and too many of the currently elected Republicans are out of touch with the above beliefs.
