Welcome to the Community About Nothing, and Yet Everything.
Much is being made of the Supreme Court overturning Roe v. Wade in an upcoming decision. This is a GOOD decision on the basis of the Constitution. Far from overturning a "woman's right to choose", this decision returns the issue to the states- where it belongs. This dovetails with my desire to have all politics return to the local level, where people have the right of self-determination.
Because the U.S. Constitution is silent on the issue of abortion, it should be left to the states to decide how to handle the issue. The Roe v Wade decision was bad law. Period. It needed to be overturned. It was never a federal issue.
If you want an abortion, then go right ahead. Find a state that allows it and go there. Totally cool with me.
For the record, I also believe the Federal Government should get out of the marriage business. This is another issue on which the Constitution is silent. Frankly, I would prefer that all levels of government get out of the marriage business. There should be no benefit in favor of, or against marriage. Then it is a church matter, where it began.

Why do I like this one? I have a primary residence on the Mountain of Right.
Of you who read my previous post, how many of you caught the quote I stole from a movie? Can you name the movie and who said it?
Bet you didn’t know there would be a test…..
So, I have completed 4 of 6 chemo infusions, and I have to say that the last one seems to have caused almost no side effects that cannot be otherwise explained by the disease itself. I remain exhausted all the time, and I go home at the end of the workday positively depleted. That, however, seems to be due to the anemia that somewhat existed before chemo started but certainly seems to have been exacerbated by it.
I presently sit at a 40% disability rating with the Veterans Administration with some big stuff pending. I am awaiting a decision on my hearing loss and the PTSD/Depression. The cancer aspect takes a step forward with an exam by a VA contracted provider who will provide a recommendation as to the service connection to the cancer. If it goes my way and I get to 100%, then as soon as the first check hits the bank, I’m retired. While this exam is scheduled for Monday, I have no assurance that a VA determination will be quickly forthcoming. Patience is the key.
My spirits ...
