What Have We Come to?

So I'm sitting here in the recliner pondering the future. It's a precarious thing these days. Once upon a time, when I was younger than I am now, it was boundless and full of potential. Then the same thing that happens to everyone happened to me; I grew up.

With growing up comes the annoying responsibilities that grown ups have. Taking care of yourself, working, paying bills, etc. And following along with the happenings int he rest of the world. Currently what has my attention is FOCA. If you don't know what this is, it's called the Freedom of Choice Act.

Essentially it strips all limitations and controls on abortion that are currently in place. Now some people think this is a good thing. I'm not one of them. I despise abortion. I also think that forcing doctors and hospitals to offer abortion is wrong. That violates THEIR freedom of choice. But this act would allow for that. I don't know what the democrats are going to do with their new found power in washington, but I know it's going to be interesting.

Legislation like this, forcing hospitals to provide certain types of care that not everyone in the country agrees with only opens up the door for more legislation like it. What will they take next? I'm not all that curious about it but I think we're going to find out anyway. The democrats currently in power have a rather socialistic outlook. Expect them to finish the train wreck we're in now if they're past record is anything of an indication.

Welcome to the Socialist States of America. It oughta be a wild ride!

Not that I can talk, but you should keep in mind there are people in your line of work who might not react nicely if they stumble upon this post :)
