@tbeltrans, Good points about some forms of debt being not by choice. Those would be exempt from my general philosophy of "acceptable debt." Although here in Canada I understand that it's easier to avoid that one big curve ball of medical expenses. I've heard horror stories about medical expenses in the U.S. and I honestly don't know or wish those kinds of experiences on anyone.
The stuff you mention about people accusing you of being "right wing" I understand as well. I'm not political at all, but whenever I bring up any sort of practicality or logic to problem solving type conversations, I've had that thrown at me a few times as well. I'm a big believer in blending compassion and understanding with logic and practicality, but logic and practicality still are the foundation to finding solutions in my book.
Some people say, "People just can't handle truth" and right them off. But my philosophy is that truth without compassion is just brutality. You need both to meet the human condition.
