My blogging friend, Norma, at Collecting My Thoughts, has an interesting post up about “Where I part company with conservatives.” It’s worth the time to read. Here’s a taste to whet your appetite:

I believe marijuana can be a controlled substance for medical treatment, just like other mind altering legal drugs.

I believe drug sentencing is too punitive and counter-productive–at least in Ohio. 60% of our prison population is drug related (I’ve heard, haven’t researched it). Prisons are schools for crime, and we should stop sending so many novices there, because they will graduate and return to us.

I think Creationists need to stay clear of the public schools. We haven’t even convinced our own folks, so why go after non-believers? No one ever got to heaven because of believing in creation, nor was sent to hell because of evolution. Plus, you’re not being truthful about your motives and that hurts your witness for Jesus.

I believe that Eat less, move more is the best health plan, and that probably isn’t in the Bible or hawked on your favorite talk show.

I know from experience that all bubbles burst, whether it’s love, finances, dreams, careers, or political candidates.

I agree with most of Norma’s beliefs - but not all. I won’t say which ones I disagree with, though. Reading Norma’s post makes me want to write my own “I Believe” list. I’ll have to work on that.
