Sanctioned abortion is a horrendous tragedy permitted by our Great Government (built under God), with the passing of Roe vs. Wade in 1973. Such an important ruling, with tremendous moral implications, affecting every man, woman, and child in America, was never voted on (in a “democratic” society), by the American People. The law was passed, basically due to the influence of “special” interest groups and agreeing “Supreme” Court Justices, with absolutely no consideration for the views of Americans, and most citizens were staunchly against the passing of that law. However, over time, most of US have become conditioned and have adjusted to the ultimate ramifications of the passing of the right to abortion law. Americans can rationalize “As long as it is not my child they are killing”. But the irony is, our children, grandchildren, and families are all being killed, but in a different way. Examine the content of the media (network television, movies, and some internet content), and the violent materials and weapons sold and look at the recent occurrences in the biotechnological complex. We do not need “specialists” or rocket scientists to tell us in what direction to head. What we need are thinking, common sense, stable, and well grounded people in politics, who are truly working to bring America back to sensibility.
While abortion remains permissible, there can be no peace of mind nor conscience in America. A $300 tax rebate is nice, but it is not what America needs nor truly wants. (*author’s note: tax rebates were being increasingly offered by government and publicized in the media) Facts need to be faced. Roe vs. Wade needs to be overturned and this gentlemen, is the real issue we are currently facing. If there is no abortion allowed, then the entire stem cell issue (cloning, “Genetic enhancement” etc.) is moot in not only the public sector, but private sector as well. No decision will ever be necessary regarding an aborted human soul’s genetic material. We can put an end once and for all to the questions, compromises, and painful decisions made, regarding the use of aborted human body parts. It is time that the abortion issue be rekindled by Conscionable People and brought forth to a democratic vote by the American people.
Yours truly,

On Tuesday morning September 11, 2001 I felt an anxiety and a strange sense of foreboding upon entering the parking lot of the business of my employment as one observed a taxi cab departing the parking lot that was advertising a movie titled “Original Sin” on the roof of the cab. Shortly after settling in at work, word was delivered via the internet that one airplane had struck the World Trade Center building in New York City. A sense of excitement and stress combined with anxiety overtook me. While trying to maintain my composure, I learned that another airplane struck the World Trade Center. Shortly thereafter, I was introduced to a woman of Egyptian birthplace and descent who was hired to begin employment this day. I was asked to introduce her to the responsibilities of the job. I wondered why she began work on a Tuesday and I thought about the odd coincidence of the letter I had just mailed and was sickened. I requested to leave work and was dismissed from my job early that day. The first place I drove to after leaving work was daughter and son’s school. As I entered the long in length school parking
