Animal rights
Message #197004
I'm afraid it'll be a long while before I could top my McLauglin Group parody. I used to do a pretty good impression of David Brinkley, and I'll do it after we return, … in a moment. Actually, I can do a vocal imression of Brinkley, and of Walter Cronkite,…

Rush's Rongs
Message #197003
On the car analogy — someone tried again today (11/19) — just to take it to its extreme … I think most people do want to go for a test drive before taking it home for keeps. Also, I think most people do take a long look when a Lamborgini…

To the extent…

A QUESTION FOR DUKE
Message #196977
Aren't you again confusing the bandage with the wound? The social ills you name are effects of poverty–particularly poverty within a highly materialistic culture. Granted, welfare has been less than effective in alleviating the ills. That's different than saying welfare causes them.

A QUESTION FOR DUKE
Message #196975
What you would rather see might work if poverty were random and less frequent. But because the poor are generally concentrated in particular rural regions or urban economic ghettos, the neighbors are usually in the same predicament. I agree that small volunteer welfare agenies can present a more human face…
Abortion (Logic Against)
Message #196969
Laurie, Nobody is making women reproduce. The issue is the rights of the unborn. The government is there partially to tell us what we can and can't do. Some of their decisions aren't so pleasant, but I'm glad that they restrict criminals' liberties for instance. And I'm sure we all…
Civil Rights compromise?
Message #196968
Uh, Madeline, I never owned a Politically Correct computer. I've had Macs since 1984. I don't even know much about working the PCs at work. Kevin

Oh really? Gorby uses a Mac? I thought 68xxx's were on the restricted export list! Kevin Mitchell

Pat for President

Dan, Interestingly enough, the Illinois Constitution mentions individuals and not the militia! Kevin
