Emotion properly directed is part of human completeness it is the motive force in human nature. Normal human personality is composed of three elements cognition, emotion and character. Not to feel disgust and to act upon it is to be a stone. Further, not to act is to be complicit in the mass murder of defenseless beings.

You have no knowledge of California history see any history text on California. It was so bad in Los Angeles that the city hired a person to go around Sunday to pick up the bodies left from Friday and Saturday.

Logic depends upon the premises set forth whether explicit and/or implicit. Unfortunately by waiting for the next world one does nothing in this world. Doing nothing is no longer an option.

And the operative phrase there is "properly directed". What are *you* proposing to do? What is going to "properly direct" *your* understandable outrage? Somebody allowed their emotions to overrule their cognition and killed George Tiller right in a church. Was Tiller a monster? Yes, in my book he was, without a doubt. Hurrah! The monster was slain! All is right with the world now, as justice has been served!

I should not have to append sarcasm tags to the preceding three sentences. The final result of this emotion-driven action? Absolutely zilch, the slaughter continues. It is only by getting the public at large to see the ugly reality behind the benign sounding phrases of the pro abortionists that we can curtail the slaughter. This is what is being done, and it *IS* working, albeit slowly, perhaps too slowly for some.

You insist that I propose to do nothing. Not so. What is actually being done, by many committed Christians, is what I favor. It isn't flashy, no fire and brimstone, but it *HAS* been getting results. Will it end this execrable holocaust tomorrow, or next week, next month, next year? No, but there *IS* a light at the end of the tunnel. We have seen it in locality after locality, new statute after new statute, new poll favoring life after new poll favoring life.

It is only recently that we have been able to put some regulation on BigAbortion, who had from the inception of Roe v. Wade, less regulation than your neighborhood beauty parlor. That has now changed, and will continue to change, provided *we* who fight the fight, reign in our outrage, and not play into the Evil One's hand by allowing our emotion to overrule our cognition...
