At heart, I'm a scientist; that means I'm a skeptic. I don't trust easy answers especially from politicians. I also don't trust extremists, either left or right. But I don't think these are biases; they're based on observation. It's hard to know your own biases, but I believe openness, information, and clear thinking are helpful—maybe those are my bias.

". . . corporations have no consciences, no beliefs, no feelings, no thoughts, no desires. Corporations help structure and facilitate the activities of human beings, to be sure, and their 'personhood' often serves as a useful legal fiction. But they are not themselves members of 'We the People' by whom and for whom our Constitution was established." ~Justice Stevens

There is more that unites us than divides us. Not only do we have a common genetic inheritance, we have a common cultural inheritance founded on a deep set of shared aspirations: for security, for the wellbeing of our loved ones, and for full participation in the possibilities of life.
