    Well I certainly HOPE so. Geeeeesh. Kind of senseless if people can't tell the difference and make choice. It's the American way. LOL
    Abortion rights dogma can obscure human reason & harden the human heart so much that the same person who feels
    empathy for animal suffering can lack compassion for unborn children who experience lethal violence and excruciating
    pain in abortion.

    Unborn animals are protected in their nesting places, humans are not. To abort something is to end something
    which has begun. To abort life is to end it.

    Ah, the "different look" ain't about making choices but rather preventable dead Americans, and more preventable dead Americans to follow, appears you and Trent Garner have the same callow view of reality

    I'm kind of glad we are not one homogenous monstrosity of an Authoritarian State.
    Excellence is an art won by training and habituation. We do not act rightly because we have virtue or excellence, but rather we have those because we have acted rightly. We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act but a habit.
    - -- Aristotle

    Believe nothing on the faith of traditions, even though they have been held in honor for many generations and in diverse places. Do not believe a thing because many people speak of it. Do not believe on the faith of the sages of the past. Do not believe what you yourself have imagined, persuading yourself that a God inspires you. Believe nothing on the sole authority of your masters and priests. After examination, believe what you yourself have tested and found to be reasonable, and conform your conduct thereto.
    - -- The Buddha

    It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it.

    right? too bad the republicans and democrats want to make it that way...........fuckers
    A sad commentary on we, as a people, and our viewpoint of our freedom can be summed up like this. We have liberals and conservatives, Democrats and Republicans, yet those very people look at Constitutionalists as radical and extreme.................so those liberals and conservatives, Democrats and Republicans must believe that the constitution is radical and extreme.

    Democrats aren't doing anything other than taking logical preventable measures to avoid dying from a virus, and as shown above, the Republicans are seemingly doing the opposite for idiotic reasons

    Don't agree with Democrats or don't agree with the measures?

    As we see in vaccinated States and communities, the measures work in preventing the spread of Covid and deaths from Covid, so are you disagreeing with those facts or the fact that Democrats are recommending common sense in addressing the virus?

    Having Democrats speak out for the vaccine is "forcing others" to get the vaccine, but having Republicans speak out against the vaccine with lies is not "forcing others"?

    Right, makes a lot of people glad knowing they stand a better chance of dying from an avoidable virus as long as they don't have to take preventable measures that are saving other Americans

    Why are democrats pushing the vaccine? They should be after Fauci to come up with a medicine that will prevent the so called virus...

    It also gives sanctimonious gasbags something to use to demand more government authoritarian control over every aspect of every life. "If it would just save one life it would be enough" and all the other platitudes aside.... I'd prefer to live with danger than life with Fascists protecting me (and others) from every danger.
