In response to http://www.michelepac.com/:
It is not my place, or yours, to tell people what decisions they should make. While I would not personally seek to abort an unplanned pregnancy I believe it is the right of the mother, ultimately, to make that decision. I am not in a place to tell someone what decisions they should make and what decisions are or were wrong. I don't consider myself a conservative or a liberal but a constitutionalist. This means I believe in the rights of others to live how they see fit so long as it does not impinge upon the rights of others.
I also believe in fate, destiny some would say: if a fetus is destined to be aborted then a soul is not granted to the shell of life. The same is true of miscarriages. Are you now saying that a mother who has a miscarriage is guilty of terminating a life? To me there is really no difference. Let the fates, gods or whatever higher existence you believe may or may not exist sort it out in the after.
And for all the biblicals: judge not lest ye be judged.

Fun and useful tool
I'm working on updating my exhaust on my bike and I'm going to have to build from scratch. While I was tooling around on the internet I came across Engineering Toolbox and they had a link to Google Sketchup.
It's a 3d modeling program that's a hell of a lot easier than any others I've ever used. It's simple, so don't expect it to do extreme stuff unless you go to the pro version. Cool news: it's from Google so there's a free version! I downloaded it and just started dicking around. It's easy to use for basic shapes. I'll have to see if I can do complex modeling on it (and I'm out of practice as it is) but it's fun and integrates with Google Earth. Be interesting to see how well it works and what others are doing with it.

Ok, that was short...
So my analysis was short. It just ended. Oh well, previous statement stands.
Republicans after talking about 'the message resonate[ing] with the american people' is a load of horse shit. Much of what he does and says is contrary to the will of the people of this country. And that does not include he illegal immigrants. And no, they're not 'migrant workers'. They don't work, they weren't invited and they're not welcome if they do not follow the process required to legally enter this country.
Enough ranting. I'd rather have someone who is willing to do the work rather than talk about it. I'm tired of hearing 'this is where the hard work begins', which this Republican representative on CNBC has said 7 times in the last five minutes.
Yes, there are a few things that I agree upon in principle but I've yet to see positive actions taken on promises made and I've seen negative actions taken based upon subversive measures to hide results. The health care bill will be a great tax upon our nation supporting persons who are not putting forth effort to support themselves. This does not mean that I believe everyone taking advantage where they should makes them a leech on society. What I am saying is people who over-tax based on a burden they do not bear is what this bill is allowing.
The thought that he has championed since before his election to President was to grant amnesty to all illegal immigrants presently in the country. This tells me that Obama is not concerned with the sanctity of our country and this is contrary to the office he was elected to.
What I caught of the speech, the last 20 minutes, illustrated no difference to me from the last three years I've been watching. I believe it is time to bring impeachment procedures in to effect.
