Stand with Ukraine, Israel, Taiwan -- with democracy and civilization against tyranny and barbarism

Individualist, pro-technology, pro-democracy, anti-religion. I speak only for myself and not for any ideology, movement, or party. It has been my great good fortune to live my whole life free of "spirituality" of any kind. I believe that evidence and reason are the keys to understanding reality; that technology rather than ideology or politics has been the great liberator of humanity; and that in the long run, human intelligence is the most powerful force in the universe.
God doesn't exist
Evolution happened
Global warming is real
Homosexuality is normal
Aging is a curable disease
The election was not stolen
Everything "spiritual" is a lie
US out of UN, UN out of US
Free speech is for everybody
Humans do not have "souls"
Men can't become women
Fetuses are not persons
Words are not violence
Taiwan is a nation
Pluto is a planet

Everytime I see Stupak's name I think it's an acronym of somekind - like stupid??? but that's as far as I can get. Will check out his challenger.
Maybe it's a Sovietologism for his anti-abortion bloc in the House -- the "Stupid Pack".
I'm very pleased that his amendment was removed from the health bill -- but how much better it would be if he himself were removed from the House (provided his replacement in a better Democrat and not a worse Republican).
More and more I find it practical to support candidates for office in other states, Rep. Grayson for instance, Rob Miller to defeat Joe Wilson -- it makes sense to seek out candidates who can really make a difference, whatever state they're running in. I only support locals (I'm talking financially) if they show a great deal of promise, or are involved in a very high-stakes race against truly awful opponents, otherwise, my vote will have to do.
Stupak has got to go, so I'll be heading over to Connie's donation page to do what I can.
Much could hinge on cases like this. I oppose voting against bad Democrats in general elections, since the opposing Republican will almost always be worse -- but supporting a better Democrat in the primary seems to be all upside, at least when that better Democrat has a good chance of winning in the general.
