Here's my thoughts on a couple of topics mentioned here, first Abortion, it's a medical procedure that along with many other things has helped lower the infant mortality rate. With the availability of ,condoms, the"morning after pill", birth control pills, implants, etc,all of which are more convenient,noninvasive, less expensive and far less controversial, there is no excuse for using it as a form of birth control. I think that abortion should be easily available if a Doctor diagnoses it as being necessary just like bypass surgery, if you need it, you need it, but if you went to your doctor and told him you thought you would like to get a bypass he would schedule you for a psych eval.
Christianity, I'm not much of a Christian, I believe in a Creator, but I also believe (supported by sub atomic physics) that we are "all one with the universe", I believe in Karma, when I read the Bible I apply historical knowledge and common sense to what I'm reading, for example, prohibitions on Jews eating pork, that's a hot climate, pork does not keep safely in hot climates , so it's safest to just avoid it. Sex between those to closely related, leads to a higher incidence of birth defects, best avoided. That being said when it comes time to stand up I will be standing with the believers, even if my own beliefs may be a little fuzzy.
The last suggested this, Creation versus evolution, I believe based on my work experience (?
) that any one who promotes one of these theories over the other has not thought it through fully . Consider, the Bible says "God works in mysterious ways" and "In the beginning was The Word" , in manufacturing we have Engineering (Creation) who produce designs (the Word ) but it requires machinists making and improving prototypes (evolution) to translate "the Will" into "the substance" in short it's not a case of Creation OR evolution, it's actually Creation THROUGH evolution.
As for the obamanation/hitler comparisons I think they are valid.EXCEPT, Hitler was a NATIONAL socialist, where as Obummer seems to be an INTERNATIONAL socialist on the lines of Marx and Lenin. Based on the experiences of the former Soviet states B Ho's economic ideas will not lead to prosperity, (the way Hitler achieved APPARENT prosperity was by looting the conquered nations, his luck ran out before their resources did.) it is not "sharing the wealth", it is sharing the poverty, while the elite keep the remaining wealth for themselves, doling out small privileges to the faithful followers. Things to look for; increasing inflation,, nationalization of resources and manufacturing, and lastly, decreasing unemployment coupled with decreasing productivity, (this means that more people are being used to make less stuff, the workers are just putting in their time and just doing enough to stay out of trouble).
That's about all I can think of for now, the election is over so anylizing the comparisons in campaign strategies between Hitler, Milosivic, and the O hole are fairly pointless, except as lessons in how we have to lie, cheat, steal, and generally play the dirtiest form of politics south American style in order to win our country back at the polls.
Beware formation of his "Civilian National Security" it will serve the function of the Gestapo / KGB.
