I hear about all the evil of socialism, but some aspects of it seems not that bad.

1) Why should someone's health be at the mercy of someone whose focus is not on their health, but earning money? A state-run healthcare program does not sound so bad when you realise why things like this make "socialist healthcare" a better idea than privatised healthcare.

2) education cannot be left to he states, clearly. See my previous thread on education.

3) Civil rights should also be something that does not go by state. Your marriage should not be voided in some states because they don't like the homosexual lifestyle. A gay person needs equality, and the States should not be left to decide over time. This is something that should be determined by the Supreme Court - whether gays have a constitutional right to marry based on the fact that 'all men are created equal, that they deserve' the right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. Wouldn't one argue that marriage is a pursuit of happiness?

If someone has any differential or supporting arguments, I'd love to hear them.
