Musings of a Dumb Ass

Musings of a Dumb Ass..... There's always another way to look at 'things'. For a long time I've laid the blame for the open door to illegals coming here for jobs on our welfare state and those who take advantage of it. I haven't changed my mind about that because we are absolutely glutted with the sorry asses who prefer to go to the mailbox instead of going to work. But there is another factor to be considered, and that is abortion and the effect it's had on our country over the years. I've heard the figures and listened to the preachers in the pulpit rail about it for years, but I really never thought about the far reaching effects and how it could affect our workforce and economy. Instead I looked at it from the human side and tried to think about it from the standpoint of what's right and wrong and where it places us on a standard for civilized behaviour. I am totally against such an act and opposed to the legality we have placed on it. But there is something else long reaching about this murderous behaviour that has far reaching tentacles that wrap around not only our concienceness but our situation even today with social problems including illegal aliens in our work force. In the 60's we became enamoured with civil rights and personal individual rights and out of that came the crazies who almost never think of any long range effects. Thus came Roe vs. Wade which gave abortion legal legs. One of the facts that come out of abortions heinous acts is the sheer numbers. No one knows for absolute certainty but there is a strong possibility that as many as 75,000,000 babies may have been killed on purpose in their mothers wombs since 1960. There is no problem in documents and records proving that 50,000,000 were denied birth. Forget the God factor in this, because that is a personal thing with each individual, and a private issue. Instead we should think about the sheer numbers. If you can only accept the provable statistics, then we are left with 50,000,000 American individuals who, if allowed to live, would have paid taxes, consumed every thing imaginable that is consumable, contributed to the arts and life in general and more interestingly would have worked. That means they would have a job. This also means there would have been plenty of workers to fill not only the jobs the illegals now fill but would have created many more beyond that. We've never been a people with long term vision when it comes to passion. We've proven that time and again. Problem is, that sometimes has lasting pitfalls that are disastrous and can't be crawled out of.................
