Seems to be a contradiction here. Your telling us that nothing will be solved here. (i.e. the discussion will get nowhere). Then you tell us some things that we shouldn't do because to do them "will get us nowhere". Why is it that those on the "pro-choice" side are usually the ones who like to say that arguments about abortion will get nowhere? I think that for them it is important that they don't get anywhere. Maintaining the status quo (i.e. confusion on the issue) is a victory for them, one which they are willing to accept. Keep it fuzzy and nothing will really change. They are getting, at least, most of what they want now and the rest will come in a matter of time. If this group is going to get nowhere what did we create if for? Do we just love to disagree and argue? If that is true then it really doesn't matter what the issue is. Just turn to net.flame and forget this group. Paul Dubuc
