Breathtaking.

I had 4 grandparents who lived under oppression in Europe. My father fought in both theaters in WWII. My FIL was a partisan in Norway during the war (who only returned there once and who also became an American citizen).

We have also traveled widely and while our system of government is incomprehensible to much of the world, those living under the French, for example, would rather live under the Americans, but rarely consider living on their own.

Sending this on, so be aware it may become an Internet classic. (I will delete all identifying references/names, etc)

Very excellent reading. I will save this one for future use.

Thanks

AND IN ALL CASES OF RECOUNTING, George Herbert Walker Bush STILL GOT THE MOST VOTES AND WON FLORIDA!

No he didn't, his son George did. Idiot.

4) ... AND IN ALL CASES OF RECOUNTING, George Herbert Walker Bush STILL GOT THE MOST VOTES AND WON FLORIDA! Do you really think ...

George Herbert Walker Bush was the 41st President of the US from 1989 until 1993. He is a fine man and "W's" daddy.

BUMP!

Actually, I think the Roe V. Wade arguement has everything to do with it(though abortion itself does not.) The point is, how do you hang your victories on some court decisions and then nulify the courts on ones you don't agree with? Most pro-lifers are fighting to overturn the decision,not nulify the legitimacy of the court to make it. And with very rare exceptions, women are at least partially responsible for the spike in abortions (with the obvious exceptions). Any women who falls for the "if you love me line" and admit it ladies....we all have at one time or another, if having a total common sense breakdown. Didn't your mother ever tell you not to fall for that peer pressure crap, "If Jimmy told you to jump off a cliff, would you???"

I guess I'm just an old fashioned girl that thinks people are actually responsible for their actions no matter how weak they were at the moment or how cute that guy was (of course, I would be hard pressed to to turn W. down if he was a single man.......I'd fall for his line any time, but I digress....)

No, actually , it doesn't. The SCOTUS decision basically said that you can't change the rules in mid stream because the old rules don't suit you. That may be simplistic but that is what it was. To try to tie R v W into this is ludicrous.

Yes, we all, eventually, fall for the cute guy who convices you to do something you know you shouldn't but we are all responsible for our decisions. The fact that some try to take away that responsiblilty is one of the things that is wrong with our world.
