- And because the unborn child, in your VERY humble opinion, is "ugly," it
- does not and should not have a right to life. Gordon, in all this time, you
- haven't changed. You still have that singular ability to unfailingly miss the
- point, to throw mud, to bring up red herring non-issues. You're really a master,
- and your talent is wasted on t.a -- you ought to be making real money on
- Crossfire or something.
- Gordon, very old people are ugly in some people's MOST uninformed
- opinions. That doesn't make them non-persons. Some people think Jews are
- ugly; some people think Scots are ugly; some people think blacks are ugly;
- heck, some people even think Native Americans are ugly.
- Don't use such a pitiful argument again.
