One wonders whether Bush would legalize late-term abortions if it could be proven, Gattaca-style, that the fetus would grow up to be poor and commit some capital crime in Texas.

Best. Simpsons. Quote. EVAR.

I dunno, man, abortion is one of those issues where I feel so strangely and at odds about I don't think I've had an actual conversation about it in several years.

I think we should institute a weekly Most Wandering Topic award for threads.

I like the way the thread went from the totally inoffensive discussion of there being few posts on Friday to the extremely tense topic of abortion rights.  This could get ugly.

Perhaps it's the stress of Number One and Two's April Fool's prank that has gotten people on edge.

As long as we're keeping it on the level of Simpsons allusions and not actual debate, it's all cool.

Ha, yeah, years of Great Books and Art Appreciation classes have taught me that actual debate is the most pointless thing on Earth, because, at the end of the debate, each party still believes exactly what they believed in the begining, only now, they also believe that all of the other parties are jackasses, or morons, or misguided, etc.

Well personally, I've been gone.  I took a long weekend and went canoeing and giraffeing with my Dad, my brother and my two daughters at Reelfoot Lake in Tennessee.  Beautiful area that's both geologically and botanically unique.  We had fun.

Just got back.  Anything happen while I was gone?

Spending all of that Jeopardy winning money, August? ;)

And no, it's been pretty slow here until today.  Not that the lurkers and sign-up bots haven't been hitting the server pretty hard.

No, actually my Dad paid for the whole trip, which was cool of him.  I did spend a little tax refund money, however.

We could always switch over to requiring a log-in to even view the board. Or maybe add one of those "type what you see in this gif" fields to register.
