Modern day economic slavery.

If another civil war happens, it will be over wealth disparity: the have's vs the have-nots.

Based on what I have seen recently over privatization issues over US36 in Colorado American citizens do not have any fight left over economic issues or probably religious issues. And if there is any unrest our police state for the rich will put it down. Look at OWS.

I was being a little provocative on purpose. It does not seem like there is anything that is not too outrageous these days.

After all, a majority (should be all) of us here agree the haves have too much money and aren't taxed nearly enough. We also agree that the minimum wage should be increased to at least $10/hour.

There are issues like the big corporations making huge campaign contributions, the poor, billionaires, voter suppression.... I find these more important.

religion usually is just the loyalty hook with which to drag the rest of the population along, to do the bidding of those who stand to gain or lose the most financially.

We have been using living wills for this for ages - the only way I would object to this is if the government tells him he cannot refuse it for himself.

What is wrong is when some religious body thinks they can make law that will not allow personal decisions (such as abortion) because they do not believe it is right. A lot of the rw are theocrats and they do want to make our personal decisions for us. Bah to them.

Abolitionists were doing it?

Was it unamerican 60 years ago when southern black Christian ministers were leading the movement to abolish segregation?

It ain't who is proposing policies, it is the policies they are proposing.

Just as a tool for some to rally support.

It will be about government.
