I thought of myself as an atheist until I realized it was a belief, too. It's a shame everything has to have a label. I feel that if I was figuratively dropped on the Earth and there was a political line, I would be just left of center.

In the end, there are people who don't fit into the marketplace and are not equipped. I believe the government should step in where the free market fails.
