1/The abortion rate in the United States is at its lowest since 1973. It's estimated that there were about 1.06 million abortions in 2011, which is down from about 1.2 million in 2008. Ummm... Anyone else blown away by the fact that there are STILL over a million abortions in the United States alone?? And if one believes in God, and one believes in a soul, an afterlife, in Creation – is it reasonable to assume that this same person believes that life begins at conception? Or is that going too far? And if “God people” believe that life begins at conception, then why aren't they doing whatever they can to prevent over 1 million yearly homicides of the innocent? Has the abortion discussion been hijacked over the last few decades, by the “gay agenda”? It seems as though the majority of Christians aren't near as wound up about “gay stuff” as they used to be, so now that there's an opening at the top of the “what are we against” list, will there be a resurgence of “anti-abortion” campaigns? (My guess is that we'll be more focused on the projected 22 million cancer cases worldwide per year in the next two decades.)2/Anyone else feel like boycotting the Olympics? Some are doing so because of Russia's anti-gay legislation, while others are doing so because of recent terrorist activities. However, maybe this needs to go a step further. What was going through the IOC's minds when they awarded RUSSIA the Olympics in the first place? Anyone who has ever done a cursory online search knows that “business ethics” is an oxymoron in this country, so is it any wonder they've spent an estimated $50 BILLION on the Sochi Olympics? In second place is China at $43 Billion! (Canada shelled out $2.9 Billion in 2010.) So let's take a second and think about what these two countries have in common? COMMUNISM, ATHEISM, TOTALITARIANISM, and a litany of human rights violations. In other words, the Chinese and the Russians have, will, and will continue to pay for the Olympic chest puffing of their greedy and corrupt leaders! (WHEW... that was like passing a kidney stone!) So, will you watch the Olympics this year?
