Hey Big Jim

Truth be told we agree about 85 percent on most of the things you mentioned. A few points I disagree with are. Socializing (ie having the government run things) scares the living crap out of me. If we had more checks and balances to make sure it really worked then I wouldn't be opposed. Our government of late cannot be trusted to run our health care or our natural resources (power plants etc). Most everything else you mentioned I am with you 100 % . One other possible exception would be the death penalty. I am not for it in many cases; however there are some times when it truly is necessary. The way we carry it out is ludicrous. They have at least 20 years of appeals before they are executed. As I say it should only be as a last resort for someone who is truly evil. Killing someone raping the corpse and then eating the dismembered body should have more of a dire consequence than life in prison in my opinion.

Other than the points I mentioned I think our values match up pretty well. Not too bad considering your an atheist and I'm a Christian.
