Abortion - The Ultimate Non-Issue

	Ask anyone what they consider to be the most important issue of our time and you'll get a
lot of different answers; prayer in schools, corporate control in Washington, how much Beast Wars
sucked ass.  But more than likely, the majority of the people you ask will site abortion as, if
not #1, pretty damn high on their list of priorities.  I'm fairly certain that the only reason
that Bush is allowed to bring his mass-murdering ass to work every day is because he claims to be
anti-abortion (note that I said claims--this'll be important later).  Well, that and the fact
that natural selection's been denied the ability to take its course and the country is 99% full
of idiots.  But I digress.
	The bottom line is, abortion is one topic that damn-near everyone has an opinion on.  
Nearly everyone gets pissed off when you mention it--the pro-lifers start to develop weird-ass
facial tics and start foaming at the mouth and the pro-choicers always wind up on self-righteous
speech about how they're protecting the right of a woman's to decide what goes on in her body.  
I, too, have an opinion about it, but what I believe has nothing to do with this.  The fact is,
no matter how many idiotic preachers rant on their pulpits and how many signs the pro-lifers wave
and how many abortion clinics they blow up, abortion rights in America ain't going anywhere.  
Y'know how venemous the pro-lifers are now?  Well the pro-choicers will be every bit as bad if
the Christian Coalition gets their way.  The politicians know this, and they know how crazy the
pro-lifers are.  And that's the key to the whole damn thing.
	When you come right down to it, voting Republican because they're pro-life or Democrat
because they're pro-choice is every bit as rediculous as voting based on who has the hotter 
daughter.  The best-kept secret about the abortion issue is what I just told you; that it's NOT 
AN ISSUE AT ALL.  Even if they COULD get rid of it, they wouldn't.  Because each side plays lip 
service in an attempt to get this vote or that vote.  And the pro-lifers and pro-choicers are all
so wrapped up in this non-issue that they completely ignore all the corruption going on in the 
system.  It's all smoke and mirrors.  For the Goddess' sake, the president SENT INNOCENT PEOPLE 
TO THEIR DEATHS.  Not only that, he's so bought and paid for by the oil corporations that they
may as well put a price tag on his ass.  Yet that all got ignored ... all because the American
people were dumb enough to be sucked into this screwjob.  He's anti-abortion, therefore no matter
how big of an idiot he is, no matter how much he'll screw up our country, he must be the right
man for the job.
	As though I don't praise this guy enough on this site, I would like to point out that 
there's one politician who refused to play the abortion game because he knew that it was nothing
but yet another veil the mainstream parties pull over the heads of the American people so they
can keep shovelling money into their pork projects and buying booze for their alcoholic daughters
so they can molest them while they're passed out in the reflecting pool.  Wanna guess who it was?
	Damn sure wasn't Bush.
	I don't know what you think about abortion.  Nor do I give a rat's ass.  But please, for
the love of Christ, Buddha, Pan, or whatever Higher Power you worship (or Nothing, if you happen
to be atheistic), think about something OTHER than just which side they give lip service to in
the elections of 2004.  We don't need ANOTHER Dubya.
