I prefer ABC news as a less biased source than an advocacy group, thank
you.

Was is ABC or CBS that staged the Chevy pickup truck exploding gas tank?
I don't trust any of the news organizations anymore. Almost every one
has been caught doing something like this when they can't get the real
data to match the outcome they desire to report.

That would include most every academic and government research group as
well.

Neither. That was NBC.

You just have to be skeptical. At least there is an editorial board,
and they have to answer to the FCC.

They don't to the FCC for the factual content of the reports. Where di you
get that idea?

If you want manipulated data, just
look at any number of sites on internet, which don't have to answer to
anybody.

The ones on the internet answer to the same people as the mainstream
media -- the market they serve, and their credibility is at stake. That
reputation is something that bureaucrats can neither enhance, nor destroy.

Every poll shows the vast majority of the American public apposes
abortion. If that is the case in a democracy, shouldn't
the majority rule?

I'm not sure what polls you are reading, but here is a link that
shows
the opposite, i.e. support for legal abortions at about 53 percent,
and
opposition at 43 percent. They state this has been the trend for at
least the last decade.

Unless it involves a boob the FCC could care less what the networks
broadcast. They certainly do not monitor them for news accuracy. Most so
called news programs are actually entertainment programs.

That was "Dateline NBC".

Right you are. I thought this came into being with the 16th amendment.
That seems superfluous, given your reference above. Since article 1,
section 8, clause 1 seems pretty general with regard to taxation, I'm
now curious why the XVI amendment was necessary.


The 16th amendment was needed to allow a direct tax on income. Article 1,
section 2, clause 3 required direct taxes to be apportioned. The 16th
amendment states; "The Congress shall have power to lay and collect taxes on
incomes, from whatever source derived, without apportionment among the
several States, and without regard to any census or enumeration."

But only to the extent needed to support government operations. The problem
is all this charity crap and illegal redistribution of our assets.

No originally.


Not originally? Of course it did. See article 1, section 8, clause 1.

Really? Every poll I've seen supports abortion.



Have you noticed that the only people that advocate abortion are those that
have already been born?

I love it how most discussion on the subject is done by men, who by some
coincidence, have never gone through pregnancy and childbirth.

Back in those radical '60s, I was in a debate on abortion. A bishop asked one
of the debaters, a young lady, when she was going to give up her heretical
stance on abortion.

The answer came back, quick as a wink, "When either you or the Pope gets
pregnant."

How is that any different from the fact that for the most part the
people who decided to start our most recent war, avoided military
service themselves?

Hmm, seems to be a pattern developing here.
