Friday, in my Introduction to Political Science class, we began talking about the issue of abortion. My professor said that women should lead the debate in abortion because men cannot possibly understand the issue, because it involves mainly a woman’s body. I made a sort of counter argument by stating that my father was adopted and he has enjoyed his life, and I enjoy my life. I see myself as a pro-lifer by personal experience. I think abortion is wrong, but understand that in certain situations it should be allowed, but not as a method of birth control.

This seems like a good cadence to sing when at a double time:

Our Sergeant-Major jumped from 40,000 feet (3X)
And he ain’t gonna jump no more

And the Lord said
Glory, glory what a hell of a way to die (3X)
When your balls hang lower than your paratrooper boots
And he ain’t gonna jump no more

He was the last to leave the plane, the first to hit the ground (3X)
And he ain’t gonna jump no more

He landed on the runway like a blob of strawberry jam (3X)
And he ain’t gonna jump no more

They scraped him off the runway with a little silver spoon (3X)
And he ain’t gonna jump no more

They put him in a matchbox and they sent him home to Mom (3X)
And he ain’t gonna jump no more

They put him on the mantelpiece for everyone to see (3X)
And he ain’t gonna jump no more

Without a doubt, one of the most interesting pieces of art I have seen in a long time is ‘Flower Chucker’ by Banksy. Banksy brilliantly juxtaposes two very peculiarly dissimilar objects into one image. The obviously anti-war image, ‘Flower Chucker’ illustrates a terrorist throwing a bouquet of flowers. You’ll find no hidden meaning in his art, but rather direct and obvious messages which are more easily communicated visually.
