Roe Vs. Wade anniversary
Today is the anniversary of, in my opinion, one of the worst events in American history, the Roe vs. Wade decision. This decision, since 1973, has led directly to the deaths of almost 50 million American children. If an anniversary of any other tragedy occurs that caused a large loss of life, you can count on media coverage marking the event, yet this anniversary passes with barely a mention. If ANY coverage is given, you can expect someone to appear to hail it as a "wonderful achievement for women", or something similar... I hope one day to instead remember the date this terrible decision is overturned.

Things that make you go hmmm...
I just saw on the news tonight how victims of the Haiti earthquake are being flown to this country for treatment.
This is a good thing, to be sure, but it got me thinking...Hasn't our president, and others of his ilk, spent a good deal of time telling us how horrible and broken our health care system is? Wasn't there even a movie made extolling the "wonders" of the Cuban health care system compared to ours?
It Seems to me, if they really felt this way, that Cuba would make for a much shorter flight....
