You're absolutely right. Especially when the violence of these seemingly logical actions is so messy and bleeds over - pardon the pun - into the fabric of 'peaceful' society. Soldiers come back warped and go postal or kill themselves. There are so many civilian casualties that can't seem to be stopped and the drug war turns the streets into a war zone.

But on the abortion issue, isn't the way the subject is argued so fundamentally flawed when the law is never going to stop women from having abortions? And killing doctors is so futile and tragic. Turning the issue into a political football is such a waste of energy when modern technology and society has already created the supply and the demand. Any law and/or moral argument apart from the mother's own conscience is irrelevant.

The abortion issue comes down to when you consider a fetus alive/a person. To me that's when it has a heart beat. Before that point I am fine with abortion. As a Libertarian I don't want to enforce my morals on others except when it infringes on the rights of others. In this case I think it infringes on the babies right to life. I find it funny that people say it's a women's rights issue. Half the babies killed are female. Probably more than half because a lot of places in the world female babies are considered less desireable. I prefer to go at it from an equal rights issue. A man should have the same rights to abort their responsibility to the child that the mother does. It's bull crap that a man can be held hostage by a pregnant woman. Those same feminists who are big on right to choose will say "well he made his choice when he choose to have unprotected sex". Apply that logic to a pregnant woman and they will burn you alive. If it's not equally applied then it should not be allowed. It's been to court and the judge said the rights of the baby outweigh the rights of the man. A woman can rape you and not only get custody of the child but also make her victim pay child support. My brother's girlfriend got him drunk to losses him up because she wanted a baby. He has been a financial slave to her for almost 18 years now.

If you want to prevent abortions, you make sure everyone has health care, a high school education and birth control. Not the exact opposite.

The GOP doesn't trust you to vote, use a restroom or buy a cake. But they'll do anything they can to get you a gun with no background check.

A man born with black skin represents everything we are expected to stand for.
Yet some say he hasn't done enough
enough ?

That apparently kindergarden teachers should make on average $464M each... and we pay for it by taxing the top 25 hedge fund managers?

By the way - I'd be shocked if the top 25 hedge fund managers made an average salary of $464 Million a year.

Seeing that one of the top hedge fund managers--David Tepper of Appaloosa Management--made an estimated $4 billion in 2009, it's not outside the realm of possibility.

Here's an article from Forbes about the top twenty-five hedge managers from 2013 and several of them made more than a billion: http://www.forbes.com/sites/nathanv...dge-fund-managers-and-traders-2/#4261fa2bff30

Well I'm sure you understand that earnings and salaries are two different things.

We shouldn't be shocked that multi-billionaires are able to earn additional billions as they are able to put their capital to work.

I'm not sure if 57 was saying they shouldn't be allowed to make that much money... or if kindergarden teachers should make just as much

I think 57 is just saying that kindergarten teachers are underpaid.

PS--I do know the difference between income and earnings and the Forbes article pretty much talks about what the guys took home for their efforts.

Well he thinks everyone is underpaid... Wants to make min wage $21 hour... wants to pay kindergarden teachers comparable to hedge fund managers... Wants to expand social security and pensions...

It's quite a wish list. He should try his luck in Venezuela
 
not sure what kindergarden is but i'm sure they grow some awesome stuff

i presume at least

yes, they shouldn't be allowed to make that much or kindergarten teachers should make just as much

those are OBVIOUSLY the only options when pointing out those salaries
