Too Many or Too Few

  TOO MANY OR TOO FEW


We need to get rid of all these illegal immigrants; apparently we have all the people we need and we don't want any more.  But wait, we are not going to have any more abortions:  we need more people.  We obviously don't have enough people and we need more.  Which is it?


There is something amiss here.  Either we don't have enough or we have too many.  Oh! I get it.  We don't have enough of the right kind - - that's what we don't have enough of.  Why didn't I think about that before making such a big deal about treating immigrants poorly and putting them on trains to deserts in northern Mexico so that the Mexicans can deal with them.  


In the meantime the people that are here already, you know those whose ancestors come from Germany, England, Holland, Scotland and such need to have more babies.  Maybe we would still have a hospital prepared to deliver babies here in Newton if we would just get rid of this abortion thing.  If you get pregnant, suck it up and quit complaining.  You are doing it so we don't have to let in a bunch of poor starving immigrants who just suck up our tax dollars.


I always wondered why the big todo about abortion.  We want more white people and fewer non-white people.  You don't have to mention race at all; it's a non-racial thing - - it's a religious thing.  You are committing murder if you have an abortion; you are not committing murder, at least not where we have to take responsibility for it, by simply deporting people who have no place to go.  If they don't make it, oh well, we aren't responsible. 


But this murder thing bears discussion.  What's the big deal about terminating a fetus?  We are going to need an answer to this.  All of a sudden the concern for  murder is at the top of the charts?  After wiping out millions of indigenous Americans (pre-Columbus people), killing millions of slaves with brutality and substandard treatment, what's the big deal?  So now we are humane?  Well, if so, it's a good thing right?  Human life is sacred and after all it should be.  I think we can all agree on that.  None of us want to get killed because someone else doesn't approve of us.


But we do need to decide:  Do we want more people or less?  This appears to be the question that needs an answer first.  Then once we have an answer to that question, if in the positive, we need to determine what kind of people these people should be.  This last issue appears to be a somewhat trickier one and needs further discussion.
