I had a friend in uni whom I suppose I’d call “liberal” except that we were in an entirely different political context from what exists in the States. She was effectively pro-abortion, and during one of our ~~debates~~ discussions she said that she didn’t see how something the majority of the people wanted could be denied by their elected representatives. So I pointed out that pro-abortion people are more likely to have less children than pro-life people, and also more likely to euthanise themselves or their parents. In a generation or so, the former will have made themselves the minority, anyway, and then where would their “strength in numbers” be?

Some way or another libs always shoot themselves in the foot. As in all the taxes and Social Security 50 million or so dead babies would have paid if they had lived. Somewhere along the line, they most likely murdered the one who’d have grown up to have developed a definitive cancer cure.

I'd start to worry that, with that kind of limit, the Young'uns running Congress might mandate Carousel.

And what are liberal policies without “bread gobblers” to oppress?

Soylent Green was needed because the world was over-populated and polluted such that real food was scarce and incredibly expensive. The way we’re going there will be plenty of food around, but no one to eat it.

“Abort the elderly?”

Can we start with everyone in Congress who’s over 65 setting an example?

I expect to see this sort of thing happen more and more. And the only consolation will be watching as the Baby Boomers (and I am one) gradually realize it’s their turn next.
