Quote of the Day

"This to me is the true horror of religion: it allows perfectly decent and sane people to believe by the billions what only lunatics could believe on their own." --Sam Harris

Quote of the Day

‎"We contend that for a nation to try to tax itself into prosperity is like a man standing in a bucket and trying to lift himself up by the handle." --British Prime Minister Winston Churchill (1874-1965)

Quote of the Day

“Great minds have purposes; little minds have wishes. Little minds are subdued by misfortunes; great minds rise above them.” - Washington Irving

Insurance

I'm sick of hearing about the supposed "women's health" controversy. I don't want to pay for your contraception. I also don't want to pay for ANYONE'S "preventative care." I think that is fair. Insurance is for emergencies, period, and your yearly checkup is not an emergency. Birth control is not an emergency. Wanting to stomp out a helpless life is also NOT an emergency. (Well, not to the aggressors. It is rather important to the unborn baby.) And don't even spew that bilge about the "cost of un-wanted preganancies" - in that case, I'm absorbing costs on behalf of the babies who CAN'T fend for themselves. You CAN. Get over it.

"People are poor because the rich have used up all the wealth" is like saying "people are stupid because people with high IQs have used up all the intelligence."
