Why don't you teach your daughter to: 1) Keep her 16 year old legs crossed until she marries. 2) Give her birth control lessons and all the wonderful little devices for the amoral crowd. 3) Inform her that if her "little indiscretions" of her free choice lifestyle is too burdensome, adoption rather than murder is a preferable option. No one wants to get in your bedroom, we're just trying to help you. Oh, by the way, screw you, too.

Backuptrk - can't resist this one: "and by the way, I am in favor of a measurable increase in the gas tax...and you know what would happen with a $3.00 gas guzzler tax at the pump tax? You would get all of these wacky housewives out of their Jeep Grand Cherokkees and Linclon Nav's and into something that fits the purpose of suburbia ..." [ed. I left out the trailing, rather unseemly reference to the wearing apparel of some Arab sects.] "Wacky housewives"??? That's amusing, coming from a Democrat. Into something that fits the purpose of suburbia? Do you know what the best selling vehicles are in America - with your name, you should -- It's pickup trucks. Guess what -- a lot of people drive them for real live work. I suppose it is important for Democrats to jump to misguided popularist ideas and to try and dictate the "common" economic good - like, maybe we should also manage the automobile industry and emulate those "wacky" folks who produced the ideal common car in the Soviet Union. Zil's were just really neat. Your grasp of economics is demonstrably thin - raise the gas tax and since nearly everything we eat, drink, use and wear moves by truck, all you do is raise the prices of everything for everyone. That's particularly hard for those who count food as a major portion of their spending, but it is non-inconvenience to those "wacky" suburban housewives. Gas guzzler taxes? That should really help our economy. Gosh, let's rally the lower-middle class and lower class further into the classic penalize success trend. While we're at it, why don't we hammer the auto industry, the financial institutions that handle auto leasing and loans and those mean folks who make us buy their insurance for vehicles, too. Managed economies - there's a time-proven idea! Now, who has their head in a dark place? Mr. K.

re: towelheads Weren't you the guys who were saying the Republican party had all the racists? Seems the Democrats are always making race-based policies, where pro or con some group or another. Perhaps they need to make policies that are anti-merit and anti-effort.

Backuptrk - separate topic, another response. "I'll even come back if you get the hell out of my bedroom and knock off telling my 16 year old that she might have to bring an unwanted baby into the world because of an error in judgement. . ." [ed. I'm purposefully leaving off the rude invective that came after that.] Interesting that we as a society have been reduced to the degree that what were moral lapses are now simply errors in judgement. I take it you dislike the idea of implying to a 16 year-old girl that there are real consequences for having sex too early? Ooops - Bzzzzzzzt. There we go again, talking about things like personal responsibility and accepting consequences for behavior. Wouldn't want too many kids growing up into voters with those principles. Nah. Bad idea. They might end up voting against the next Bill Clinton-like candidate. Heaven forbid we put someone with character in the White House. Mr. K.
