Not talking about gay marriage for a second, to move to your abortion issue... what is it about the madness of the American political machine that requires us to have elective abortion in the 39th week? At 39 weeks, the so-called mass of tissue will rock in the mother's womb if you sing to it. But it's still a choice at that point? Can't expect a woman to go the next 4 days? That's the way our laws are written.

    I'm sad to say this, but the reason slippery slope arguments work so well in America is because we're such fools, we also dive right down the slope. There is no balance, no reason. There's just, I won last week, so I'm back, asking for twice as much. That's not a condmenation of the Left, the Right is just as stupid and overbearing.

    Nobody wants common-sense solutions or compromises. Everyone just wants to stick it to the other side. This is why I'm slowly weaning myself out of the Backroom, and out of politics in general. We're just a bunch of mindless morons screaming sound bytes at each other.

    My aim, then, was to whip the rebels, to humble their pride, to follow them to their inmost recesses, and make them fear and dread us. Fear is the beginning of wisdom.

    I am tired and sick of war. Its glory is all moonshine. It is only those who have neither fired a shot nor heard the shrieks and groans of the wounded who cry aloud for blood, for vengeance, for desolation.

    It is good that you speak with respect for Don Corleone. His enemies...fare poorly.
