"Abortion: This is a special case of a more general question: "Do helpless people have rights?" If I say "no" in an easy case (like an unseen, undeveloped fetus), then there's no logical barrier to prevent it from applying to a newborn baby, an old person on life support, a colicky 1-year old, or even myself vs. any stronger person. Morality is nothing if not applied consistently. So abortion is wrong."

Actually, that's fantastic. The more pro-life people the better. My argument is different, but I'll take this.

Gay marriage I'm against, obviously.

Bigamy I'm against, obviously.

Let me ask you a question, Jenny. It's an economics question.

Is any one individual or small group of individuals smarter than the market? In other words, can a small group of highly intelligent people outperform the market over long periods of time?

Obviously? Why? Because your religion is against it? But why are you against it?

Yes, but they're not talking to me. (ta-DUM!)
