I appreciated the "ping" --- for the opportunity to read a well written and thought out post.. I stand in awe of your clear (correct) thinking and elegant ability to express your thoughts.

But - you have invited me to a conversation - already raised above the level at which I could have contributed..

I'm a simple old guy....with firmly held positions and opinions...
My definitions of "right or wrong" are not based on "the law" as defined by imperfect men.
In fact, I am rather distrustful of those that profit from the "practice" of law..

Everything I needed to learn about "right or wrong" -- I learned before I was 12 years old...

Innocent is innocent...and nothing is more innocent than the unborn.
Willful killing is murder...
Being Legal (the defense of the abortionist) is at best a temporary state, since it can be changed by those still "practicing" law..

I shouldn't need to list all the abominations that were at one time LEGAL in this country -- that are no longer legal.

Nor, should I have to list the "RIGHTS" that were once declared by our Constitution and Bill of Rights that are constantly under challenge by those that "practice" law...

I continue to "practice" at the rifle range --- just in case we have to apply the ultimate response of the citizen outraged beyond "tolerance"...
That point is fast approaching..

Uh, you have made an astoundingly valuable addition to the discussion! It is, after all, We the People who will have to reach the level of intolerance if these wrongs are to be ended by consensus without reverting to arms.
