• I Think I Finally Get It …

  Yesterday marked another anniversary of the legendary Roe v. Wade court decision.  The metro was filled with various protesters making the trip back home from work somewhat crowded and ultimately slower since these new people just don’t know how to ride on metro (the doors are not elevator doors, they do not bounce back open so you and the rest of your party can try and squeeze into the overcrowded train).  There are a few things I try not to comment on but being who I am I like to see both sides of the coin.

  Breaking it all down I find the argument comes down to: Pro-Choice believers feel it is the right of the woman to make the choice for another – to carry the baby or abort the baby.  Pro-Life believers like to preserve life.  That make sense.  For those that like the ability to choose whether the baby lives or dies basically don’t mind if one person goes into a store and shoots and kills the store cleric for the cash register money.  The shooter made a choice to end the life of the cleric.  That apparently is fine with Pro-Choice people.  It’s not the baby or the cleric ever had a say in whether they want to live or not.  That is because Pro-Choice folk believe in ability for a person to make a choice for another.  Whereas, Pro-Life folk think all human life is sacred and should be treat with respect, well probably to some degree.  Doesn’t one seem more selfish than the other?  After coming to this conclusion I can see why there would be protests every year.  Who likes murder anyways?

  • Great article on the founder of Under Armor, a fellow University of Maryland, College Park alum
  • And this is why I tell Chewy to wash every new article of clothing before wearing it.  Does she listen to me?  Nope. 
  • Yet another massive Toyota recall.  The once proud car company seems to be having problems.  I wonder if it stems from having more cars built in the US than in Japan. 
  • I mentioned this to Chewy before too that there’s no hurt pride or loss of manhood if and when we have kids that it’s ok for her to keep working while I become the stay at home dad.  I don’t think she was all that keen on that idea.
