What I have trouble reconciling is making access to birth control for the criminal, the mentally enfeebled and the permanently dioriented hard to get and then making abortion even harder to get. While I don’t favor abortion, the whole sequence just does not make sense to me. It seems to me that encouraging birth control would reduce the left wing vote considerably.
That would probably qualify, eh? :’)
There’s a longer cycle (of sorts, as with all natural “cycles” it’s about as regular and scientific as biorhythms) involving the Sun with Jupiter and Saturn, and it has been said to correspond with sunspot activity.
Jupiter — 4332 day year (IOW, Earth days used to measure the sidereal year)
Saturn — 10,759 day year

[snip] The eight planets (without Pluto, and not counting the sun) would align within 1 degree, about once every 34 thousand billion years. That’s over 2000 times older than the age of the universe. Calculations have been carried out for 10 million years into the past and future, and the planets have never lined up and never will. [/snip]
