Good or Bad

I am flawed. I don't know if I want to lead a more virtuous life. I don't know if I want to lead a criminal life. I don't know if I want to lead a mostly evil, with a hint of good or mostly good with a hint of bad sort of life.

Being "good" is difficult. It takes effort. There are rewards, but there are definite drawbacks.

What type of life?

An ethical life with a certain level of immorality (by American society standards) is what I want. For example, I want to be sexually adventurous, which is not welcome generally in American society. Yet I want to be ethical; fairness in paramount; equality and so on.

What type of life shall I lead? Let's do one of my favorite things...It's time to make a list! Yay!
1. Equality: All adults having the same rights regardless of their ethnicity, race, religion, sex, gender, gender identity, sexual orientation or lack thereof

For instance, gay marriage should be legal and I also think marriage among more than two consenting ADULTS should be legal as well. I am not here to tell you how your family should be.

2. Providing a good education for all people no matter their background should be fundamental for American society.

3. Everyone deserves to live in a safe environment. Gangs and the subsequent crime they bring should never be tolerated let alone glamorized.

4. It should be illegal to deny anyone medical/dental care that is not cosmetic. In particular psychiatric care is notoriously difficult to receive in the U.S. unless you are a person of financial means.

5. Expressing your political opinion is fine, but it should be illegal to spread falsehoods about a person or a political party

On a side note, why is it so hard to get a third party recognized in the U.S.? The only options available seem to be Democrat, Republican, and then you go Independent? I remember when the Reform party seemed to have gain traction. Anyone remember Ross Perot, but that was almost eighteen years ago.

*I guess I should do a post on ways that I could be perceived as being "immoral"
