Goodbye economy

[veronica_rich]

Airlines can fail, Wal-Mart can wobble, and gas can keep climbing. But when one of the most major, cheapeast forms of a little sin and stress relief sell out to an overseas beverage company - something it never needed to do even during the Depression - you know even worse times are sliding toward your country FAST.

I don't have particularly strong feelings of love and flowers toward Barack Obama; I'll be honest. His lack of experience bothers me, I'm not sure he'll be able to get the votes to do the things he wants to promise. And his eagerness to please the nutjob evangelicals for a few votes by infringing on basic medical rights for the female half of the population scares the hell out of me. But I'm sure as fuck not going to vote for McCain a sixth term for Reagan. He didn't have enough of a brain - literally - to run the country well the first time around, and his proteges and hangers-on have done absolutely nothing to improve it beyond padding their own bank accounts. In fact, with Clinton's help (on NAFTA), they've pretty much driven the whole country into the ground.

Well, Obama did say that there should be "a strict, well-defined exception for the health of the mother." So I'm still not seeing your argument, except that you don't want any limits of any kind on abortion? Sorry if I'm misunderstanding you.

I am pro-choice, but I do think there have to be some limits. Surely five months is enough time for anyone to make up their mind.

Actually, that is my point. "Strict and well-defined" isn't something I'm keen on a bunch of male legislators deciding for my body. (I did warn you this was my opinion only. *G*)
