The link Judah posted made it look like chaff, yet you've been saying it's wheat. Do you feel that it's truthful? Or do you like it because it explains a viewpoint? This book seems enlightening as to the "consciousness" of the movement, but for real politics, I generally just watch New Mexico in Focus, Washington Week and News Hour type stuff. What we talk about here -- the kinds of stuff -- is mostly entertainment... tho a lot of folks probably don't feel entertained by what passes for politics. =) ... > "What happens to the mind of a person, and the moral fabric of a nation, > that accepts the aborting of the life of a baby without a pang of > conscience?

It is that question, the I know this is Jesse Jackson saying this, but it's an example of how people try to leverage emotion for nefarious ends (tho of course the people doing it don't think it's nefarious). "Without a pang of conscience"?!? Who could be inhuman enough to think that there is a large number of humans who don't have a conscious? I got news for you bub (Jesse): I'm pretty sure almost all of us hear that little talking cricket. Jiminy! Woohoo for legislated morality. ;) :Den -- Is life not a thousand times too short for us to bore ourselves?
