I embrace my inconsistency because I recognize that situations sometimes occur when acting against my moral leanings is made necessary.  I also do not presume that I know now everything that I will need to know for the rest of my life nor that I will always enter every single moment of my life in full possession of all information that I need to make choices.  I assume that I will encounter new events, people and points of view -- and that those may alter my beliefs when I attempt to reconcile them with what I know and believe. 

Mostly, I want people to live in whatever manner they see fit without a law or another person telling them how to live -- so long as they are not causing harm to another person. 

Good luck with that one, huh?

That's what I say. Those fundies are always manipulating the markets, especially the hedge funds.
