Right to Life

Today is Right to Life Sunday in Catholic Churches.
While I am a Catholic, I do not support the effort to make abortion
illegal.
My reasoning is simple. Personally, I don't believe a fetus is a human
being until it is born and breathes on its own.
But putting aside the argument of a fetus being or not being a
humanbeing, I find the idea of making abortion illegal a very scary
idea.
Would anyone who wants to make abortion illegal be satisfied if it
were listed as a misdemeanor with a fine of $5 or $10 levied against
all involved: doctor, nurse and woman having the abortion?
I doubt it.
Then what? Twenty years in jail? The death penalty?
No one talks about that and that is why I do not support making
abortion illegal. Period!
I might also add - just for fun. If human life begins at conception
and a human being exists for the nine months it is in the mother's
womb, should we all get rid of birthdays and start having parties on
the day our mother and father had some sexual fun?
Could we get our drivers licenses and be old enough to drink nine
months sooner than the law now allows?

Global warming

Some people are afraid of vampires. How's this for real horror?
I recently posted "How to solve the gay marriage issue."
In the same vein, I'll talk about global warming.
While I have doubts about global warming, I have no issue with the many
suggestions offered to stop it - except for one.
It seems most solutions have something to due with reducing pollution.
No problem. I support.
But I am sorry to see the main reason for pollution not being
addressed.
In the early 1950's the population of the US was about 150 million. Now
it stands at 300 million.
That equal a doubling of the population. More people equals more
pollution, more consumption, more solid waste.
This should all be obvious.
It should also be obvious that because both government and business
have a vested interest in there being more and more people to get more
and more money from, neither business nor government have an interest
in reducing the number one cause of global warming - more and more
people.

Solving the gay marriage issue

The easiest way to solve the gay/lesbian marriage issue is to get
governments out of the marriage business altogether.
In place of a marriage license, issue certificates to everyone and
anyone who wants a legal document for all the reasons straights, gays
and lesbians want a marriage license.
Then the issue of marriage is left up to the individuals and whatever
religion they belong to.
Let's face it. If marriage is a sacred union, how can anything the
government does be sacred?
How many people realize no one marries anyone except for the two people
who are getting married. Everyone else (including priests, justices of
the peace and tug boat captains) are just witnesses to the marriage.

Letting it all hang out

Sometimes you got to let it all hangout and take a chance.
My new book, the vampire book about an erotic dancer who becomes a vampire "The Dancing Valkyrie" is doing fair on-line and in a few bookstores.
I am about 30,000 words into the sequel.
On my web-page at GeoCities, I have clickable links to my publishing site "The Adirondack Book House."
Just for fun, I also have a clickable link to two photos of me. One as a vampire going to a Halloween party this past October and one of me with nothing on. Obviously not 21 but not too bad - I hope.
If you laugh, I won't hear you.
The location for the book and for the nude photo is at http://www.geocities.com/kleinpete/
