sabotabbyHey guys, I know this might be TMI, but I had an abortion just now, with my morning coffee. (I probably should have had it with a glass of water, but whatever.) I had one the day before, too, and the day before that. I've been having daily abortions for some time now.
Granted, scientifically speaking, I'm just preventing implantation*, not removing an existing fetus. But since when did anyone in the Bush administration pass health class in junior high? What, you want a government full of egghead smartipants, or do you want a government you can drink a beer with?
Anyway, good thing I live here, where I can have daily abortions, instead of in the States. Because I am a selfish feminist. I delight, each morning, in getting up, having a cup of coffee, taking my vitamins, petting the cats, and extinguishing the lives of precious, unique snowflakes.
EDIT: If you're American, tell 'em what you think.
* Not even that, because, well, condoms.

(And weird because a healthy state structure would minimize cases of veterans suffering from PTSD flipping out and killing people.) And there's the meme, referenced in that thesis I sent you, of erasing the Vietnamese from the story of the Vietnam war. But you see that in liberal movies too.
I like how he takes out a helicopter with a rock, though.

Date: 2008-07-17 04:44 pm (UTC)The politics of it, I guess, is quasi-libertarian, only insofar as John Rambo is a one-man unstoppable force once he's in his element away from civilization. And because the government and the army fucked him up. The solution to that, of course, is not the anti-war movement, nor is it the feminist movement. The solution is to wander around like a bum or live in a hole in the ground in the woods. Resistance to imperialism is just as absent or devalued as the Vietnamese resistance is in these movies.
