....
“Watch a sonogram of a 15-week baby, and they have movements that are purposeful,” he continued. “They stroke their face. If they’re a male baby, they may have their hand between their legs. If they feel pleasure, why is it so hard to think that they could feel pain?”

"Hope After Faith"

"Jerry DeWitt is an atheist. So am I. I was more or less born and raised an atheist (Unitarians being notoriously tolerant about who they let in their doors), I am still an atheist, my cancer is highly unlikely to change that, so I will probably die an atheist. No real surprise there. On the other hand, Jerry DeWitt comes from a background about as far removed from the customary intellectual, secular and academic breeding ground for atheists as is imaginable. For twenty-five years, Brother Jerry was a Louisiana-born, hardcore Jimmy Swaggart styled tent revivalist Pentacostal evangelical preacher. As in... wow.

As for cbb, A hoop for a hoop, hey? Sounds like your expensive health denying advocacy ends in a rings of fire rather than hoopla for all. The 12 dollars certainly is low pay, but the costs are far higher... just look where the "guides" lead you.

It is the same for State Auditor, State Treasurer, Governor, or Land Commissioner.

We elect them to oversee the professional staffs, but mostly to position themselves for another elected office. The professional staffs, as with the Ledge lawyers, can advise, but the elected official can ignore the advice and do a Shoffner or Rapert.
