abortion deal.

I'm getting slightly more accustomed to the idea of actually writing on this blog, rather than just posting house pictures and letting them speak for themselves.  And as the blog and I get to know one another I'm feeling the desire to interject my random thoughts into the house-renovation narrative.  Thus, the blog will be what is was probably destined to become from the start - a long winding bi-pedal journey down house renovation avenue, with frequent stops at local establishments serving morsels of my cerebral interactions with the insane culture I've the misfortune of being born into.
And if anyone is actually reading this, feel quite free to comment by submitting notice of your firm agreement or your thorough and profound disgust at the content and nature of these occasional rants. 

So, to start things off......

Someone on the radio a few days ago mentioned the abortion issue and I thought of a fantastic compromise that could really put the whole thing to rest. 

Ready Pro-lifers? Here it is - I'll agree to allow you to outlaw abortion on the condition that we ALSO outlaw all industrial activities that harm, disfigure, poison, or maim unborn babies.  This means no production, transportation, or use of toxic chemicals, this means no water pollution, this means no coal mining or burning (the mercury is rough on the little fetuses, you know), no industrial agriculture (pesticides and herbicides -  bad for the babies), no air pollution (sorry internal combustion engine, gotta go) and definitely no war (air raids and depleted uranium- yukky!).  

This is all about the rights and well-being of unborn children right?  Well then let's not half-ass the solution, lets do it right.  Protecting the unborn is noble sentiment so let's go all the way.   Let's completely eliminate pre-natal toxicity.  DEAL!

Of course, if they stopped doing all those things, their insane civilization would collapse anyway and enforcement of the no-abortion law would be disappear.  it's a win-win.
