"I think we should have a choice: They should teach you both," said Meagan Hass, 14, while eating pizza after school at KT's restaurant with her friend Abbi Hake. "Evolution to me is like we come from monkeys."
Except that it's not, and this just shows that you haven't been paying attention in class. Besides, even if that were the summation of the theory of evolution, that still wouldn't make a whit of difference. We don't teach that "well, maybe slavery was okay" because white Southern students might be offended, do we? So what's the difference?

And better access to birth control and abortion. No matter what your take on abortion, I'm sure you feel it is preferable to infanticide, which is the traditional recourse for parents who had no access to decent birth control options (yes, including abortion).
Of course, this woman theoretically did have access to those options, this is New York, but she may have had trouble getting it, or may not have known her options.

I wish I'd thought of this. But I'm usually the one sharing news stories, so I'd have to make everybody ELSE read what I had read.
Some depressing articles from Alternet...

An interview with a CO who was at Abu Ghraib

Maybe I'm the only one to grasp this, but you don't want to eat haggis. Not even the vegetarian kind. Nor do you want to eat sausage, which is made up of all the parts of the animal you can't sell. Or chitlins, or frogs legs, or snails, or kidney anything. These aren't foods you want to eat, they're foods eaten by people who can't afford any good cuts of meat. The only reason other people eat them is because if they didn't, they'd have to admit that their ancestors were too poor to eat any decent food.
Intestines. Ugh.
