I don't like the idea of my tax money paying for abortion. It is a subject that's not been thoroughly discussed in the people's legislature and had legislative decision (vote) made on it. It is a ruling by judicial fiat. In other words it is imposed on us. (Planned Parenthood receives government funding.)

Likewise, the evol/creation/id debate has not been discussed in the people's legislature. These reps are elected to weigh all the needs and to find reasonable solutions that balance the various needs of the citizenry. If they get it wrong, they get voted out of office. Additionally, these elected reps are to do their work in light of the constitution. Unfortunately, in many areas, they get immediately over-ruled by a judicial oligarchy that now rules our government.

The legislature would come up with some kind of compromise on crevo. The judges would not allow it based on their wild interpretations of the meaning of the first amendment.

It is just this debate in legilative session that would prevent every lunacy being made part of public policy. HOWEVER, even when turned down, the people involved would know that their pet issue had been given its day to make its case, and that it had lost.

They would then be free to vote reps in and out. They would have a part in the process. To short-circuit that part by judicial fiat is what presents the most danger to this society.

If Roe v. Wade says abortion is a private matter, then it cannot have public money...

Logical?

I was at a M.I.R.A. lecture on the Big Bang Theory given by a professor from M.I.T.

I asked him this at the open forum Q&A session afterwards:

Is the Big Bang theory an admission the universe was initiated by an Immaculate Conception?

A simple Socratic inquiry...
