Amazing that Wheeler thinks that a woman who has sex "that many times" qualifies as a "lady of the evening". Is this an outgrowth of the same world view that leads you to believe all women have penis envy? > What upsets > many people are the self-centered twits who argue that they just > can not be bothered with responsibility, as in the case of the young > woman last year who stated that she was not going to upset her > graduate school plans if she got pregnant.

What upsets certain people are self-centered twits who, for example, use screen editors instead of punch cards to enter their articles into the system! To me, this means they are more interested in taking the easy way out than working hard like I do. Screen editors are their answers to avoid the responsibility of using punch cards. This is what I call convenience writing. Did I convince anyone that screen editors are terrible awful things? No, of course not, not unless you were already convinced that they *were* that way. The same goes for Wheeler's bogus argument: only if abortion is already proven to be wrong does that argument mean anything substantial. To use it to prove abortion wrong strikes me as ridiculous. But, that's how Wheeler seems to argue. (Some self-centered twits feel the need to define for others what "responsbiility" should be; "I used to have to get up at 10 o'clock at night, half an hour before I went to bed, eat a lump of dry poison, pay millowner tupence a week to work at the mill and when we got home at night our dad would kill us and dance on our graves..." ) > p. s. OK Rosen, blather on. Why bother, when you have the market on blathering so well cornered? Care to prove the awfulness of anything by assuming that it's awful? -- "Because love grows where my Rosemary goes and nobody knows but me." Rich Rosen pyuxd!rlr
