"Matt Whiting" wrote in message ... 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. |

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. 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. |

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. http://abcnews.go.com/sections/us/Da...oll010702.html This one seems to have some different stats?????........?? http://christianparty.net/abortiongallup.htm I prefer ABC news as a less biased source than an advocacy group, thank you.

They certainly do not monitor them for news accuracy. Most so called news programs are actually entertainment programs. |

"Matt Whiting" wrote in message ... 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. "Steven P. McNicoll" wrote in message ink.net... "Matt Whiting" wrote in message ... 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? -Doug |

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." {;-) Jim "Peter Gottlieb" shared these priceless pearls of wisdom: - -"none" wrote in message .. . - - Have you noticed that the only people that advocate abortion are those -that - have already been born? - - -Doug - - -I love it how most discussion on the subject is done by men, who by some -coincidence, have never gone through pregnancy and childbirth. - Jim Weir (A&P/IA, CFI, & other good alphabet soup) VP Eng RST Pres.

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. |
