I am certain that health care is a right, not a privilege.
I am certain that private insurers will continue to commit murder by spreadsheet without bold government action.
I am certain that higher education should be free for anyone willing to do the course work.
I am certain that "preventive detention" without a trial or any legal recourse is wrong and unconstitutional.
I am certain that women's bodies and choices are their own, and belong to no
one else.
I am certain that only government has the muscle to stop catastrophic climate change.
I am certain that once all the uncertain deliberation (which is a necessary part of the process) is over, that forceful advocacy is the best way to get good things done. It's called leadership. If you are diagnosed with a disease, there may be several possible courses of treatment, all of which may have advantages and disadvantages. They cannot be done simultaneously, so one must be chosen. Once it has been chosen, it must be applied forcefully. One may not be certain that it is the absolute best choice, but there is no room for timidity once the course has been chosen. There will be a time to stop and assess whether a course change may be needed, but that time is not every three minutes. What I have been frustrated with is the constant compromise and hair splitting. The voters made a clear choice of a candidate who espoused some fairly clear positions. The Republican philosophy was soundly rejected and voters expect a coherent philosophy from the new administration. Too much time has been spent chasing Republican votes. Too much time has been spent compromising before debate has begun.
It wasn't necessarily the certainty that was the worst part of the Bush years, it was the certainty over shitty ideas.
What are you certain about?
