This person had a great start in life. 

Mr.Allen  Swift:  Born - 1908 - Died  2010

 This man owned and drove the same car for 82 years.

 

Can you imagine even having the same car for 82 years? 

Mr. Allen  Swift (Springfield, Massachusetts) received this 1928 Rolls-Royce Piccadilly-P1 Roadster from his father, brand new - as a graduation gift in 1928.



He drove it up until his death in 2010.

 At the age of 102.

He was the oldest living owner of a car that was purchased new.

It was donated to a Springfield museum after his death.

It has 1,070,000 miles on it, still runs like a Swiss watch, dead silent at any speed
and is in perfect cosmetic condition.

82 years - That's approximately 13,048 miles per year (1087 per month).

1,070,000 - that’s  miles, not kilometres!  

That's British engineering of a bygone era.  



I don't think they make them like this any more!

Let's start with, I think taking a life is always wrong. Same with the death penalty, as with a******n. Exceptions? To save a life, or war with the war part if it is not for conquering or pillage. Also to save the life of the mother. Just trying to establish that I'm not just for k*****g babies, but taking all life.

Life of an individual being begins at conception. There is no distinctive point from there to death in old age, from old age, where the being goes from here to there in a single moment. Yes, the body slowly develops from a single cell to a full adult human moment by moment. So, to me, this life at all points deserves to be considered a separate and distinct individual with the right to life.

So, how does this affect the woman. Nature created humans like most higher order animals in two forms, either male or female. That excludes t******s who have a mental disorder. But that is a different issue despite those that think men can now get pregnant and might want an a******n. They can't. Period. So, back to the female. She and a man get together, not saying how, and she provides an egg and he provides sperm. When they match up, a baby is created, no matter what you might call it. It is a distinct human. What else does the woman do for this baby. She essentially provides nutrition and shelter.

Now, this is the tricky part for me. Once the egg is fertilized, it is still floating along in her womb, looking for a moment where it can connect to the womb and anchor itself and hook up into all of those nutrients that the woman provides. The women say that it is their body and they get to decide what to do with their body. Somewhat agree. If her body does not accept that fertilized egg linking on, she is free of that baby and not responsible for it. Drugs, like a morning after pill or other birth control devices that interrupt that point of accepting that baby into and onto her body is her free choice. That is how I see it. While we might disagree, that is a distinct point of her taking responsibility, willing or not, for that baby. After that, the baby has a right to life. Like I said, my opinion.

Now. women have the choice to protect against conception in advance, and that is her responsibility, directed by nature and her life choices.

Who pays for that? Not sure, but a total government sponsored birth control is not a reasonable option. Some help is warranted. Hey guys, it could help save us from 20 years of child support.

This potential upheaval does not take away a woman's right to a******n. It just leaves that decision up to the states. Constitutionally, probably were it belonged all along. The democrats are blaming this whole issue on a right leaning Supreme Court. But wasn't it a left leaning Supreme Court that did the opposite some 50 years ago, and cause 60,000,000 babies to lose their chance at life. We don't need to expand the Supreme Court over this. Our Justices are there to verify law and constitutionality, not make law. Is this a correction? We'll need to read the decision and descent to decide of they corrected a mistake or made one.

Women and others for a******n have been going on forever that it is our right to decide what to do with their bodies. Were these same people and politicians letting us do what we wanted to do with our bodies over C***d. These damn politicians were already saying, yesterday, that women have a right to do what they want with their bodies. But these same politicians are still enforcing shots on public employees, police and our Armed Forces at the risk of their jobs and careers. And all over experimental shots that don't prevent C***d and failed miserably in living up to what they initially claimed. And their record of side effects is horrible, including causing deaths, and especially for women and their reproductive abilities. And these are proven facts. These were pushed by democrats. So, when you try to pin this potential Supreme Court decision on Republicans, remember that the democrats probably did a lot worse to you over the last two years them this decision will ever do.

Now remember, about half the states will allow a******n. And women will set up underground avenues for pills for chemical a******ns. It won't end a******ns. They will also set up t***sportation and such to states were it is legal. And remember, several of those states are not only not ending a******n, they are extending it to the last minute before birth and even for days or weeks after. That way you can look, decide, and screw the husband or wh**ever and still decide to k**l that baby. And quickly harvest the organs for t***splant and research in Frankenstein labs.

One more issue. Costs. I believe that several states have made a******n free and even for out of state baby k**lers to just come on over and rip it out. At my expense. If you are going to k**l a baby, at least do it at your own damn expense. Don't make me pay for murdering some helpless baby.

With all of my thoughts over the years and a lot of reading, I hope I an right, I believe I am right, and I think I am.

Logically Right

Those are excellent Memes.. I knew more then a couple women back in the 70s that would be happy to shoot you over several of them..

But also you comment of going back to a time when men paid the bill and women kept the home and family... I would love that.. but doubt very much we will see it.. Or even possible..

Any way, it is time to do my weight lifting and calahopes... If I survive that again,, a book and sleep.. darn such a time..

Have a nice evening and come back tomorrow, I will try and answer some of these excellent replies..

Some right wing genius twittered or tweeted or wh**ever within a couple hours of the news that the draft had been leaked that he had figured out who did it...

It was off to the races and the "evidence" is that thin.

The problem here is that these rabid anti a******n nutjobs are getting people k**led, they have splashed this person's face on posters and started the "needs to be charged with treason" rhetoric. This is dangerous horse crap and the worst is that they are turning someone's life upside down that is probably not the person who did this.

Hypothetically, if Roe v. Wade is overturned, what would people do?
I can tell you what they won’t do, and that’s stop having a******ns.

Roe v. Wade isn’t as much about a******n as it is about a woman’s right to choose to have one. The need for a******ns will always be present, Roe just ensures there are legal avenues for receiving one. Overturning Roe will close one of those avenues and leave the matter entirely to the individual states.

Roe v. Wade makes a******ns legal on a federal level, but if the ruling is overturned, states are free to outlaw a******ns completely, rather than make them illegal past a certain point.

Understand this. A******ns won’t stop. Unsafe a******ns will rise. If Roe v. Wade is overturned, women’s reproductive rights will be set back 49 years.

That cannot happen.

If Roe v. Wade is overruled as seems certain probably half of the States will make a******n illegal. Women in those states who want an a******n will have to travel to other states. Travel and hotel costs (and lost wages) will be out of reach for many.

The "many" will be over represented by women of color so the proportion of children of color born will be higher than if all women, regardless of color, had access to less expensive a******n.

Many on the extreme right, who are antia******n also fear the increasing numbers of people of color in our population. The repeal of Roe will result in the very thing they fear.

And if people of color continue to v**e Democrat eventually the pro-a******n movement will have the v**es necessary to legalize a******n by repealing thr bans that are expected to follow the repeal of Roe.
