22. Excellent. More ...

It's about people working and wanting their labors to benefit the least well-off, not the most well-off. It's about people wanting the farmer's market to stand up against the Wal*Mart slave labor produce. It's about telling employers "love it or leave it" - telling people who want to employ Chinese to move to China. It's about believing that any marketplace is better with a broader array of choices, including the marketplace of ideas. It's about honoring our workers and parents even after they're no longer able to benefit the profiteers. It's about believing that profiteering from human suffering is wrong ... and that's not morally relativistic.

It's about believing that, in a world full of problems, love and commitment between two people isn't one of them.

It's about believing that dropping bombs isn't "pro-life"; that state-sanctioned homicide isn't "pro-life"; and that a government able to impose laws on a woman's womb is just as empowered to require an abortion as prohibit one.

It's liberals who want your ten-year-old to be able to go skinny-dipping in the local creek without dying of cancer later because of it.

It's about knowing that a helping hand never resembles a fist.

It's about knowing that the Seven Deadly Sins is not a good party platform.
