"It's hard to understand,
There was love in this man,
I'm sure all would agree,
That his misery,
Was his woman and things,
Now Freddy's dead,
Thats what I said."

"Everybody's misused him,
Ripped him off and abused him,
Another junkie playin,
Pushin' dope for the man,
A terrible blow but thats how it go,
A Freddy's on the corner now,
If you wanna be a junkie wow,
Remmember..Freddy's dead."

Were're all built up with progress,
But sometimes I must confess,
We can deal with rockets and dreams,
But reality,
What does it mean?
Ain't nothin said cause Freddy's dead."

"Why can't we be brothers,
Protect one another,
No one's serious and it makes me furious,
Don't be misled,
Just think of Fred."

Curtis Mayfield

Then I responded, "Care to elaborate?"

Where are we going with this? I want to know why you wrote that.....Colin

"Known only to him are the great hidden secrets,
I'll fear not the darkness when my flame shall dim,
I know not what the future holds,
But I know who holds the future,
It's a secret known only to him."

Elvis Presley

Rowe v Wade is the current litmus test of ideological purity. The moral righteousness of the issue is irrelevant. There is not a shred of evidence in the Constitution that abortion rights is in the federal purvey. The Supreme Court legislated from the bench a right that does not exist. This issue belongs to the states, as directed by the Constitution. Some states will legalize abortion in all cases, some will outlaw it in all cases, the majority will find a middle ground. So be it. This is what the Founding Fathers intended. If the zealots on either side wish to force their opinion upon all of the states, they may do so through the amendment process. The Supreme Court does not have that right.

Of course, here in Arkansas, I import food and manufactured goods from other states. This constitutes interstate commerce. Therefore, the Supreme Court gets the right to legislate abortion rights upon Arkansas through the interstate commerce clause. Sure, THAT's exactly what the Founding Fathers intended!
