    Without getting neck deep in this topic again... I don't have a problem with abortion as self defence, and even for rape and incest. Stick to those and we'd have 99% fewer abortion in this country. Leaving no room for anybody to complain about the other handful that happen every year. Or if they would at the very least put half as much effort into educating and whatever else could be done to promote prevention, as they do in promoting abortion and the various "rights" surrounding it. Whoever suggested that parents shouldn't have to be notified should be retro-actively aborted on national TV.

    Ravel H. Joyce wrote: How can you be comfortable accepting mediocrity? Because I think being overly pedantic about spelling in a non-academic environment is more of a indicator of subservience to following arbitrary rules than it is an indicator of intellectual excellence. When I was in college and high school, long before the existence of spell checkers, my spelling was pretty much flawless. But even then, I liked to get all my thoughts dumped out on paper before I worried about spelling or grammer. The fastest way to write anything is just to do a brain dump, organize it, and finally proof read it. It is important to know all the rules, but been there, done that, and it ain't so important to continue to believe forever that it means much of anything other than arbitrary rules. After 30 to 40 years of working in an environment that requires little actual published written material, my spelling has obviously suffered a bit. So what? Chaining ourselves to the moral high ground does not make us good guys. Aside from making us easy targets, it merely makes us idiotic prisoners of our own self loathing.

    Simply brilliant! Cheers, Vıkram. I've never ever worked anywhere where there has not been someone who given the choice I would not work with again. It's a job, you do your work, put up with the people you don't like, accept there are probably people there that don't like you a lot, and look forward to the weekends.   - Josh Gray.

    My point is that it's completely asinine and dishonest for people to keep claiming that the economic problems are all Bush's fault and therefore all Republican's fault. And it's equally, if not more so, asinine and dishonest to blaim the bailouts on the soley right. And I hear them both constantly. I'm not claiming anybody is blameless, but I will post this same message over and over again every stinking time somebody calls it the Republican bailout, or that Republican "deregulation" was the only thing that mattered in bringing a faulty and flawed socialist program to it's knees. Especially when Democrats had a larger, even if only slightly, hand in both. I'm not the one puting all the blame on one side, that's all I'm arguing against.
