My sensibilities are not offended by the SI TOU. On the other hand, I just had (yesterday) a brush with SI officialdom concerning things I had said in connection with the election. I was let go with a warning because the things I said were in connection with the political debate, and feelings are running high. I realize what I said was inflammatory, and I should not have said what I said, but I was angry. The election makes me very angry. The election makes a lot of people very angry. jttmab is a valued contributor to the thread, as are you. I feel some reluctance to get into the abortion debate because it is so very contentious. But I would like to make an observation that the issue of abortion may be the most polarizing issue in politics today. Yet, I believe, without any statistics, just my gut feel, that most Americans are in the middle on this issue, and it is the political parties that are polarized. I think most Americans don't support the position that abortion is NEVER wrong, and I think most Americans don't support the position that abortion is ALWAYS wrong. I resigned my seat on the Fairfax County Republican Committee because I did not want to grapple with this issue. Now I am ready to do so. We should not let abortion become the most important issue in politics. The dirty secret of politics today is that it has.
