A quick google search brings up abortion was legalized in 1973, that makes me 
depending on the month, almost 1 or 1 year old, so this probably did have an 
impact on the way I thought about abortion.

Also I do know for a fact that my hearing loss when I was 7 had a great impact 
on how I think today too, because although when I was growing up we went to 
church every tuesday night and sunday morning and evening, but the truth is, 
I never could hear what was being preached and even to this day I don't know 
very much about the bible, because If I read it by myself, it's hard to 
understand, but on the other hand if I go to church, it wouldn't do me any 
good either because It's hard for me to hear what the preacher is explaining.

But everyday I learn things in other ways to compensate for the hearing 
impairment and today I learned a very valuable lession. It may have taken me 
years to figure this out, but today I believe the lord spoke to me through 
this list.

Now I just want to say something to Groundhog that I have been wanting to say, 
but didn't know how to say it.

"You watch way too much T.V. man, or do you visit liberal sites like 
"seeyabush"?"

I proably watch on average 1 hour of television in a WEEK! I never watch 
television, and im not a victim of propoganda, and I have never even been to 
any political web sites except for the one someone refered me to in the very 
first post to this topic.

All my opinions and conclusions are almost based on what I SEE and think. My 
eyes are my ears and they can almost always be deceiving.

Maybe this will help you understand how my life is:

plug your ears up real tight and turn on the television and watch the news. 
Watch some news that is NEW news not old news, something you haven't heard 
about yet. draw your conclusions about what they are talking about by the 
pictures and titles that appear above the news anchor's left shoulder and the 
small clips they show from time to time. Then come back to this list and tell 
this list what you thought about that news and you will be very supprised at 
just how much you THOUGHT you knew. :-)
