- Heh. Imagine how all those pacifists feel every time the military

- This is why the "taxpayer's complaint" doesn't carry much weight:
- Everyone has a taxpayer's complaint. What makes yours so special?

- Neither is abortion, lunkhead. Abortion is not murder. It never has
- been. Unless you're a grade AAA certified mutant screwhead from
- beyond the ninth dimension, even *you* probably don't even think
- abortion is murder. Almost nobody with enough brainpower to write in
- coherent, complete sentences thinks abortion is murder. Why should
- the State consider abortion to be morally equivalent to murder when
- the *HUGE* majority of people simply don't believe it?
