Lincoln, Luther, and King

I think this is an interesting article. The tack that our country has taken, to privatize profits yet socialize losses , puts the burden for someone else's mistakes squarely on the shoulders of you the taxpayer. Now that bank CEOs can no longer pay for their plush offices with remote-controlled La-Z-Boy, now I must make the La-Z-Boy payments myself.

It is another example of using the exception (saving a handful of women who would die from illegal abortions) to justify the rule (abortion for convenience). No wonder the wrath of God, prophesied in...
