I know you ladies are “pro-choice”. However, I hope you agree that abortion is a horrible thing, legal or not and that it is sad all the people we have lost over the last 36 years.
“Entitled”, LOL
In respect to the “1984″ commercial by Apple Computer, George Orwell missed it by a few years. “1984″ is happening right in front of our faces in 2009!
Please, America wake up!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
If you haven’t read Orwell’s novel “1984″ I suggest you buy a copy and read it slowly. Understand it. Then you will see what our great nation and all of our people have fallen prey too
YOu are right. I need to read it.
