About My Views
Please don't take me for being wishy-washy or something like that. I have concrete views. My view on power is that any uncontrolled "power" can go astray, out of hand and turn ugly and rotten. That's what happens with some kinds of evils that arise to overcome other evils, or with revolutionaries that start out fighting for a good cause and then end up as tyrants that need to be overthrown.
I believe we have a great system in our country that keeps those types of things in check. It's been working towards such an end for a few hundred years with success. But it's getting a bit rusty and stuck on Christianity that's trying to hold it back in the 19th Century. I'm all for an atheist state with a clear separation between church and state. That's why sometimes I speak out as a religious person or speak out against religions at other occasions.
