It's Finals Week

Here are some pictures I have taken in the past couple of weeks. I'll post more next week, when finals are over.

The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing.
Edmond Burke

I just finished replying to a comment left on the blog. It was a pro-choice person explaining how opposing abortion is a religious decision. Yeah right.

Ask a child what happens when you crush an egg containing an embryo. The baby bird dies. Am I missing something? Does the child believe the baby bird dies because of religion? Are life and death merely religious issues? If it weren't for religion would murder be ok?

I can't think of a society that embraced unnecessary murder. Some have committed infanticide out of necessity, but it wasn't because they didn't value life. It's the exact opposite, they didn't want those already alive to be threatened.

Is this where we are as a society? Do we need to abort our citizens to protect our own lives? How many people spend thousands of dollars to keep the family dog alive a couple extra years. We put all this trouble into a dog, a freaking animal, but we can't do anything for unborn people?

This person believes that it's all right to be fundamentally opposed to abortion, while allowing others to carry them out. This is like watching a country commit genocide on it's citizens. Don't say it's not, because that's exactly what it is. Can we be opposed to genocide, but let it happen because it's a choice issue? It's a nation's choice what they do with the people in their country, who are we to stop them?

But this is just religious talk. I wouldn't feel this way if I wasn't a Catholic.

Maybe I need to start praying again, praying for these people who don't have the ability to see what's in front of their face.

The road these people want to take us down is a dead end, and it will be a fight to get this train turned around. It wont happen if the people who believe in protecting life do nothing.

A T-Shirt Idea

I just designed this shirt. I think it's cool. Yeah, I should be studying. Anyway, in order to get the shirt made I have to order a minimum of 6. Would anybody want to buy one if I did? Just an idea.

The semester is almost over.

I can't believe it. Finals are this week and next. I actually have a final tomorrow. Two really, one written and one practical. Tomorrow morning will be my writing final, I don't know what it will be over really. The quizzes she's given have not been over the stuff she lectures on, they come from the book. Since I haven't read any of the book, that's a problem.

I'm still here, by the way. It's been a little while since I've posted. It's been a little busy around here. I didn't even get my story assignment in for last week. It was the last issue of the paper for this semester. I'll put a link up when I have time.

Has everyone seen Jarhead? I still need to finish my little review of it. I also have a couple of rants I need to get out of my system. I'm a little worked up over the reaction of my fellow students over a pro-life insert in the paper. The bastards at the radio station referred to the pro-life movement as the anti-choice movement. I guess that makes them the pro-killing-babies-movement. At least they're concerned about the poor little whales. Imagine a vet. giving a whale an abortion, these people would flip.

Got to change the subject before I get stuck here ranting for hours. Actually, I should be going to study. My loving girlfried is reading over my shoulder.
