"If you are against abortion, don't get one. Just support anything that makes abortion rare and unnecessary."
By that logic, pro-life people are supposed to accept abortion AND unlimited contraceptive methods, while pro-choicers "give" on nothing.

Hillary leads by a pretty wide margin in the polls, but because she's so polarizing and turns so many people off, I don't think she'd be the best candidate. What do you guys think?
Also, how would you feel about an Edwards/Obama ticket?

Im sick of hearing this.......WAKE UP people. It's a violation of your liberty. Freedom is supposed to be your privilege in this supposed democracy, fight for it. When cctv and id technologies are fully integrated into our society as they nearly are, laws will be changed. If you step out of line e.g. drop some litter, you will be sent a fine directly to your house.
As for making society safer, give me a break. Where were the CCTV cameras at the airport given as evidence of the 9-11 hijackers, oh yes, they have gone missing. Where were the CCTV cameras for the London bombings, oh yes, every single one of them happened to be not working that day, what a coincidence.
