Some of you have already heard this, but I must share this, how shall I say, "thought-provoking" opinion article with anyone else who reads this blog. Scott found the following article in the Clinton County newspaper from this past week. It reads:
LEGALIZING ABORTION WAS WORST DECISION
While some call Iraq a "bad decision," the worst decision ever made was 34 years ago- the legalization of abortion. Americans recognize this and are marching in protest across the country, fighting to defend the 4,000 innocents taken daily in abortion- yes, more than the total American casualties in Iraq. Had the 47 million Americans been allowed to live, would our soldiers be burdened with triple duty in Iraq? Would there even be a war?

Could someone explain exactly what she's trying to say?!!!

uhhhh let's see....draft unwanted babies of unwanted pregancy's.
Sorta like creating a force of storm troopers like in Star Wars Episode II.
Maybe....
the pro-life, btw i'm not anti-life...why only two options??? 'nother thought...terrorist would make a good addition to the ground troops? We can most likely find 20k of them to ship off.
When I read letters like this in our newspspaers I normally attribute it to the fact that they closed down the state mental hospital a few years ago and turned out the crazy people to fend for themselves! How else to explain something that holds no logic???
Ha! That's great, Ange.
And, I like Mike's thought too: perhaps she IS suggesting that we could send all those extra "troops" to Iraq. We could re-open state orphanages (another lost 19th-century institution) and simply run them as 18-year military training schools. Kids turn 18, they join the world's largest and most deadly fighting unit in the world.
Awesome.
I guess that last sentence was a little repetitive and redundant, wasn't it?
The only thing close to a logical argument I can see in here (and this is a stretch) is "terrorists hate us because we have legalized abortion."
However, I might be giving her too much credit. She did not state this as a thesis, nor did she provide examples to support her position. The reader is forced to make huge, shall we say, leaps of faith to get to such a conclusion.
Oh my, I've been studying too much this weekend.
ps - reminds me of the "Jump to Conclusions" mat from Office Space.
I like Strangela's thoughts, but I'm gonna propose this...
More citizens makes us a larger, hence more powerful nation.
Be afraid. Very afraid.
I still think Sparty is flipping me off when I see that picture. Maybe if our nation were larger, we could just flip other nations off. Yeah.
Maybe Sparty is flipping you off....you'll never know...
