In your editorial "Morning after bills should all be defeated" you decry the fact that the state does not force pharmacies to sell morning-after pills.   

But I was under the impression that slavery had been abolished.  I thought it had been settled that, with the exception of incarcerated criminals, no individual may force another individual to engage in labor against their will. 

Yet that is exactly what you champion in your opinion piece.  You have decided that since you like morning-after pills so much, the state should force everyone who runs a pharmacy to carry them...their religion be damned, their morals be damned, their freedom of choice and trade be damned.   And everyone else should be forced to pay the enforcement costs.

What's even sillier...you list Massachusetts as the state we should emulate in this regard!   Can I get a show of hands among readers...how many of you want us to be more like Massachusetts?

The government needs to leave companies alone and let them not carry what they want to not carry.  Customers will lay waste to any business that does not meet their needs...by not shopping there.

That is perfect!

That is perfect!

I wonder how many time's the governor's daughter has used this pill? She was just arrested again for drinking at college....now he says she will have to come home and commute, as punishment.

I would ask the same about you, but seeing as how you are the cobwebb mistress, you would need to get find someone to impregnate you first, and I'm pretty sure that wouldn't happen. You have a birth control personality.

Yes, you are right, it can't happen, biologically that is.

You have a birth control personality. 

You know, I think you owe me an apology for that statement. I have no idea what 'birth control personality' is or why I would have it.
In fact I am a right to lifer, if you really must know, and don't believe in birth control, for myself.

However, at this point in life, I don't need birth control because I am too old to have children and have been for the last 20 years.
So my philosophy is pretty liberal on that, since I wouldn't be harming anyone or producing any children without a name.

Now that you have been proven wrong once again, I guess I can put you back on ignore......

I sent this to my local paper, in response to this column:

http://www.texarkanagazette.com/articles/2006/02/12/local_news/opinion/opinions02.txt

To the editor,

I enjoyed the light-hearted opinion column on the FEMA trailers parked at the Hope airport ("What can be done with mobile homes?", Sunday, February 12, 2006).

The humorous suggestions were all good, but there was a serious point I'd like to address. The editor wrote, "A lot of the people who were displaced by the storms don?t want to live in trailers and think they deserve better. (They don?t; None of us deserves anything. We earn what we can, and sometimes lose it through no fault of our own. But we have no inalienable entitlements. Sometimes we are lucky and sometimes when disaster strikes the only choice is to rebuild and start over from scratch. That?s life.)"

Thank you for that. None of us is entitled to homes, to food, to clothing, to medicine and health care, nor to government stipends in our old age. No person has a right to claim what is someone else's, and anything that is provided by the government is paid for by your family, friends and neighbors.

Religious and social mores may obligate us to look after the poor, and to take care of the unfortunate people in life. These are good things. That does not give us free reign to force others to pay for our charitable acts. Give directly, and keep government out of it.

If you'd like to live in a state where the maximum role of government is the protection of life, liberty, and property, I invite you to read about the Free State Project, at http://www.freestateproject.org. As a "Free-Stater", I'll be moving to New Hampshire within the next two years. Taxes are lower in New Hampshire, incomes are higher, gun laws are less restrictive, and the government is smaller and more accountable. The state motto is "Life free or die". I encourage all liberty lovers to read about the project, and to join us.

Thanks... I meant to post it here, but was in a hurry and couldn't find this forum.

*gaaaaaaah!* I can't believe I wrote "Life free or die"!

Oh, well. This paper is so full of errors and typos that no one will ever notice.

Dear folks at the Union Leader:

Thanks for Anne Saunders' March 6 article shedding light on the Medicare prescription drug debacle and its local effect.  Yet again our Federal overlords have intervened in New Hampshire medicine, promising to alleviate drug prices, only to make them rise. 

If you are a New Hampshire citizen working for a Federal agency...please do the patriotic thing:  Take longer lunches. Come to work late and go home early; spend more time with your families. Reduce your productivity by all practical means, because most of the "medicines" your institution produces are toxic to this state.
