"Well...... lets take our favorite subject"

Yours not mine.

"I'd like to see abortion more available, inexpensive or free to those who can't afford it, and safe. Is that a self-serving "political" agenda? I think not. It's an issue of individual freedom, the basis for our democracy."

It is your way of making a lot of money. So, your opinion is automatically suspect. Other than that, yes I do think it is a self-serving "political" agenda? Why, because the people supporting it line up on a particular "political" platform. The groups who support this type of "political" action are supporting several others as a package deal; Anti-religion laws and gay rights laws for example. Well, if there is a principle of goodness that underlies all of these then it would apply to all of humanity. What is that Robert? If any effort is made to dehumanize a portion of humanity to accomplish the goals of a political group then the principle is likely false. For example: black people and Native Americans had to be dehumanized in order to justify slavery. As time and circumstances changed so the practice became viewed as a self serving bad practice perpetrated by a particular group. When enemies of the state are identified they usually have to be dehumanized in the eyes of the soldiers in order to wage war (ie nips, gooks etc).

You already know all of this so I expect you to mock my serious tone...bring it on.

I'm still smilin'
