I do not believe:
In Arlen Specter as a Democrat because no good ever came of any specter.
In democracies (India, Iraq, South Africa, Indonesia, etc.) where elections have body counts.
In elections that require months to determine an outcome.
In election outcomes decided by cronies of the elected.
In the good will of societies where half the population has to wear black tents in public.
In giving free money to banks and hedge funds that use it solely for private gain.
In public figures who scream or cry or otherwise make an exhibition of themselves.
In reporters who ask softball questions.
In Supreme Court justices who ask no questions at all.
In middle-aged men deeply concerned about what young women do with their wombs.
In young women deeply concerned about who marries whom.
In the Israeli-Palestinian "security barrier" because not blast walls but good fences make good neighbors.
In state lotteries because the odds are against me.
In Las Vegas for the same reason.
In free-marketeers who favor competition for all but themselves (and their pals).
In torture because no good ever comes of pain.
In the truth of one religion over another because if there is a god she doesn’t care how she's worshipped.
In everything I see on TV and almost everything I read in the newspapers.
In baseball season tickets that cost more than four years of college.
In colleges more expensive than many homes.
In homes that cost more than most people make in a lifetime.
In the reformation of car companies that always spent more on advertising than technology.
In the efficacy of medicine produced by pharmaceutical companies that do the same.
In swine flu because since when do pigs have wings?
