    I believe in rainbows and puppy dogs and fairy tales.

    And I believe in the family - Mom and Dad and Grandma.. and Uncle Tom, who waves his penis.

    And I believe 8 of the 10 Commandments.

    And I believe in going to church every Sunday, unless there's a game on.

    And I believe that sex is one of the most beautiful, wholesome and natural things.. that money can buy.

    And I believe it's derogatory to refer to a woman's breasts as "boobs", "jugs", "winnebagos" or "golden bozos".. and that you should only refer to them as "hooters".

    And I believe you should put a woman on a pedestal.. high enough so you can look up her dress.

    And I believe in equality, equality for everyone.. no matter how stupid they are, or how much better I am than they are.

    And, people say I'm crazy for believing this, but I believe that robots are stealing my luggage.

    And I believe I made a mistake when I bought a 30-story 1-bedroom apartment.

    And I believe the Battle of the Network Stars should be fought with guns.

    And I believe that Ronald Reagan can make this country what it once was - an arctic region covered with ice.

    And, lastly, I believe that of all the evils on this earth, there is nothing worse than the music you're listening to right now. That's what I believe.

    I believe in the dignity of labor, whether with head or hand; that the world owes no man a living but that it owes every man an opportunity to make a living.

    I believe that thrift is essential to well ordered living and that economy is a prime requisite of a sound financial structure, whether in government, business or personal affairs.

    I believe that truth and justice are fundamental to an enduring social order.

    I believe in the sacredness of a promise, that a man’s word should be as good as his bond; that character — not wealth or power or position— is of supreme worth.

    I believe that the rendering of useful service is the common duty of mankind and that only in the purifying fire of sacrifice is the dross of selfishness consumed and the greatness of the human soul set free.

    I believe in an all-wise and all-loving God, named by whatever name, and that the individual’s highest fulfillment, greatest happiness, and widest usefulness are to be found in living in harmony with His will.

    I believe that love is the greatest thing in the world; that it alone can overcome hate; that right can and will triumph over might.”

    He also chose to ignore the neighborhood watch protocol of no weapons. And now Trayvon Martin is dead because of a pattern of ignoring what he was told and imagining himself to be a member of actual law enforcement, overstepping the bounds of a neighborhood watch captain by many miles.

    The prosecutor agrees, and hopefully she'll be able to prove it in court. And also hopefully, it'll stop the next gung-ho wannabe cop before some other innocent person dies.
