The EU

Google says the EU requires a notice of cookie use (by Google) and says they have posted a notice. I don't see it. If cookies bother you, go elsewhere. If the EU bothers you, emigrate. If you live outside the EU, don't go there.

Antics in Texas


For John, BLUFActions have consequences, some long-term.  Nothing to see here; just move along.



Over at The Washington Times is an Editorial, "A ‘log cabin’ of gossamer:  Wendy Davis’ rags-to-riches tale unravels in Texas".

State Senator Wendy Davis rose like a rocket and captured the imagination of people in Texas and in the United States.  It was all based on her 11 hour filibuster of a bill banning late term abortions.  In the end it passed.

Frankly, I go with restricting late term abortions which are for the convenience of the Mother.  The Texas Bill would preserved the right to an abortion to save the life of the mother or to prevent permanent bodily damage from a pregnancy.  But, it would mean that otherwise life would be preserved past 20 weeks.  Preserving the life of a child in the womb is a good thing.  It seems obvious to me that such a life should not be thrown away any more than a six month old should be abandoned on the side of a hill.  Some may put this view down to religious sentiments, but I think it also comes from my concern that we not slip into to the crass approach to life extant in Germany and German controlled territory during World War II.  Bad things were done in the name of "making society better".
