<DIV><FONT face=Candara color=#000080 size=4>Regarding abortion, it shouldn't be
limited to pregnancy. I have a 15 year old and it should be legal to
take him out. Why give me a tiny little window when I don't know yet what
life will be like with that baby? Now that I know this irritating,
damaged, oppositional child, I should have the choice to "abort" him
now.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Candara color=#000080 size=4></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Candara color=#000080 size=4>Bishop? I have never had
one. I don't know what the heck religion they are in -- Catholic?
Mormon? Church of England? Anglican? Greek Orthodox?
Episcopalian? I don't even know their function. I was raised in
a Baptist home. Under God, the Pastor is the boss in an
Independent Baptist church.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Candara color=#000080 size=4>There is no way on earth that the
US will elect a black man or a woman to the presidency in 2008 UNLESS there are
more voters in their 20s than I am aware of. My own two "adult" children
(23,19) are far more liberal than their father and I ever feared possible.
How can they not be conservatives like their parents? I am only now
realizing that things like politics and opinions must be DISCUSSED as a family
and not just acted out in our lives. I guess I figured that my children
would be aware of what was important to their dad and I by our opinions and
where we spent our money and our time, and would behave and think along the same
lines. We didn't have nearly as much influence on them as I thought we
would. Just to throw a kink in the works, maybe it's because they are ours
by adoption and in nature vs nurture, nature has more sway. I will
say that I am very disappointed in their political choices and views. And
I can only pray that neither one will "get out and vote" this year.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Candara color=#000080 size=4>And why did our community lose
Columbus Day to have it replaced with an MLK,Jr Day?</FONT></DIV>

<DIV>Go ahead Jeanine, stand up for your bishop.</DIV>
<DIV>He's not one of the liberals.</DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Candara color=#000080 size=4></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV>OK, he's militantly anti-choice. So what? No issue can be an absolute
litmus test. Anyway, the president doesn't have authority over jack when it
comes to abortion. At least Huckabee knows NOT to grind our collective heel in
the face of children (those already born and somewhat grown), which is more
than most of his competitors for the nomination seem to understand.</DIV>

<DIV>Any why is Martin Luther King Day the only holiday that I will get
holiday pay for but everyone will be working their normal schedule that
day?</DIV>
