I'm very much tied to the state of Israel, but I am against their policy of settlements in Palestine.
Personally, I have nothing against work, particularly when performed, quietly and unobtrusively, by someone else. I just don't happen to think it's an appropriate subject for an 'ethic.'
You didn't have to worry that marauding bands would come and seize everything in your factory and hire someone to protect against this because of the work the rest of us did.

I am emphatically against the privatization of Social Security. It is going to hurt millions of American women, American families and ultimately the whole country.
