....somebody cue the dead horse please....

Right now, in an election season awash in issues that neither campaign can really get their hands around, (and the electorate can get their heads around), the sitting administration and one of its many lapdogs, the FDA, has proposed a rule that is sure to get just a little attention.

The FDA proposes to define the term abortion as "the termination of any pregnancy at any time between conception and birth".

The ramifications of the adoption of such a rule could be quite severe. The sale and use of any birth control medication or appliance could become illegal, or at best, restricted. The battle over this dead issue would reignite one one or more of several fronts. The issue here is not family planning.

The issue here is two-fold. First and foremost is to take the minds of the voters off the most pressing issues of the day, and not to lose this election. After all, the GOP is out there, defending itty-bitty babies. Secondly, the issue is control over the individual. The GOP has a hand in everything that we do, (so does the other party, and the government, and a bunch of interests, but the GOP is to Big Brother what the Teamsters are to trucking...).

Piss on them. The time has come to take a few hits because when we do, they will take bigger hits. The hard art of this is that this process will have to be repeated every other year, with Congressmen and Senators and presidents for quite a while.

Use every opportunity to throw the old out and bring the new in, shrinking government, perq's and privileges at every turn.

just my $0.02.

hope to see you around sometime.....
