I would say I was a socialist, but it's not easy and I don't think I'm very good at it. Ways I am/will try to act on my beliefs:
1) Turned down high paying city job to work for the government (though that was mostly motivated by how much more enjoyable government work would be).
2) Am English so will pay high-ish taxes
3) Am not a christian, but think tything is a good idea (though I don't know what percentage yet).

A more tricky problem is what *moral* philosophy to follow. Logical analysis tells me utilitarianism, but the moral burden that puts on me is almost unsupportable. Or am I just being selfish?

Any thoughts.
