Won't cost a penny, if you don't pass it in the first place.

The most celebrated nonfiction book of the year is Freakonomics: A Rogue Economist Explores the Hidden Side of Everything by U. of Chicago superstar economist Steven D. Levitt and journalist Stephen J. Dubner. The most admired aspect of the book has been Levitt's theory that legalizing abortion cut the crime rate, which became Instant Conventional Wisdom. Now, it turns out, according to two economists at the Boston Fed who have checked Levitt's calculations in detail, that the abortion-cut-crime theory rested upon two mistakes Levitt made. So far, Levitt admits to making one error, saying it "is personally quite embarrassing." Hi i am Margaret Sanger and i approve this message..

"Won't cost a penny, if you don't pass it in the first place."

There you go again shibumi, interjecting common sense into an argument devoid of any sense at all.

These people (the Dems) are the Third Reich kind of evil, and that's all there is to it.
