Abortion laws kill me! They are a tax on the poor!
Anyone with a bit of money merely takes a "vacation" to uh... just about anywhere, and gets an abortion if they need/want one.
Making it illegal in America only ensures your morality effects the poor there.
Interesting choice of words ;)Quote:

I wish I could double-like steelstubble's remarks about the economy. As a young American, my primary concern is for the health of our economy and the absurd amounts of debt our government has racked up over the past 5 years. If we keep spending without more government revenue we will have to inflate our way out, or default. Trust me, neither of those are good options.
We Americans often forget that nearly 90% of the country are moderates when you expand your notion of "left-right" to include the rest of the world. Neither Obama nor Romney can be labeled extremists: Obama isn't a socialist and Romney isn't an evil profiteering capitalist/pirate.
What is important to remember when approaching any election is the long term prospects of the ENTIRE country - not just yourself. People get so hung up on their own personal government outlays and/or taxes that they forget to think about their children, and future generations come.
Bottom line: We need to ensure lasting economic growth to provide opportunities for the future. That is why my vote will be garnered by the most fiscally conservative candidate. We live in an imperfect world and must utilize bounded rationality to our greatest ability.
You know... I really think that's the freaking plan! It's going to be a tough five years! Buy your cars now says I LOL!!Quote:

Domestics and internationals will be up in arms; and we thought we had it rough with our international allies now...
Guess I better go buy some wheel barrows to cart my next paycheck home...
I would laugh if I wasn't so focused wiping the tears off of my face. I guess the only saving grace we have is the Euro-zone is a mess and the dollar is still the de facto reserve currency...Quote:
