I believe in individual rights so much that I don't like any sort of 'what's good for the cause'-type questions.

You can't believe how pro gay and pro freedom of speech I am. I'm way out beyond anyone on the Left.

Mentally ill people come from all belief systems.

It's not arrogant to say that you can't figure out the answers to the universe with your internal faith. It's not arrogant to know that there's no omniscient, omnipotent prime mover in the universe who loves you personally. It's not sad to feel that life and the love of your real friends and family is more than enough to make life worth living. Isn't it much sadder to feel that there is a more important love required than the love of the people who have chosen to spend their limited time with you?

Bob Barr is not crazy enough for my taste.
