Shame(s) on You: Whole Lot of Shame

So much going on that I don't even know where to start.

How about with the ruling coming out of New York that the Port Authority is to be blamed in the 1993 WTC bombings that were the result of a car bomb in the parking garage. I can see where the Port Authority can be blamed assuming that they knew about the pending attack and did nothing to prevent it. But they can't be blamed entirely since ultimately they weren't the ones who bombed the World Trade Centers. The terrorists were! Logically, how can the terrorists be absolved of blame! It doesn't make any sense.

Next, President Bush is undoubtedly always doing something that bothers me. This week it's his selection of Supreme Court nominees. Also known as Bush Packing the court. Basically, President Bush just names his friends to high level positions. Which would be the equivalent of me becoming the President of Northeastern and naming the shuffle staff to the Board of Trustees. I don't see how that can be allowed.

Furthermore, what's up with everybody putting Rosa Parks on such a pedestal. Granted what she did took a lot of courage and she should be commended for it. But it bothers me when everyone says that they wouldn't be where they are today if it wasn't for her. That's not true. Yeah you would. To assume you wouldn't would mean that the Civil Rights movement would have never taken place at all. Which is kind of like assuming that if Columbus hadn't discovered America that nobody would have. Or that if Jackie Robinson wouldn't have come along that minorities still wouldn't be playing baseball. I'm pretty sure that if not for Rosa Parks somebody else would have come along and made a stand. And the thing about Parks is that she probably didn't even do it to make a stand. She was probably just a stubborn lady who didn't want to give up her seat.

And lastly what's the deal with Abortion Activists. In theory, they're against killing a baby since it's the equivalent of murder. They feel that the baby should be born no matter what. Which is all fine and dandy. But what doesn't make sense is that policians are also abortion activists. Babies being born into bad situations such as single parent famalies or famalies on welfare doesn't do anybody any good. Such births just hamper government programs like welfare, social security, and education. In theory, all politicians should be pro choice but most aren't. Doesn't make any sense.

And that's all that I gotta say about that.
