Let me tell you what I believe. I believe that everybody ought to be viewed equally in the eyes of the law, and in the eyes of each other. I believe that, all things being equal, laws should err on the side of compassion. I believe that the failure of evidence of a deity is sufficient evidence for me to disbelieve in the existence of said deity. I believe that people are people; but corporations aren't. I believe in turn signals, even if that asshole ahead of me clearly doesn't. I believe that kisses should feel like they last a week, and set your brain on fire. I believe I like having my ears nibbled on. I believe that war is stupid, and that pre-emptive war is stupider, but if someone else starts stabbing me, it is perfectly acceptable to shoot them in the teeth. I believe in Charity, Faith, Joy, and Constance. I've met them; they're nice girls. I believe that sex is a wonderful thing between consenting adults, regardless of who has which bits and which appendage (if any) goes in whose whatever. I believe in masturbation: It's sex with someone I love. I believe that comfort food can cure what ails you, but don't skimp on the meds if that's what you need. I believe that science holds the answers, even if we sometimes don't understand the answers. I believe that maybe we just need to re-phrase the question. I believe in anthropogenic global warming. I believe winters were colder when I was a kid, that the snow was whiter, and that the icestorms were AWESOME. I believe that some bad movies are better than good movies. I believe that Sean Connery looked TERRIBLE in a handlebar mustache and red diaper, but we should all still stay inside his aura. I believe I'm going to be late getting home, and that my kids should really behave better for Kim. I believe that Kim is underappreciated and overworked, and that I love her more than she knows, but less than she deserves.
