This article surfaced a lot of different thoughts and emotions for me.  I'd love to hear some of yours.  If you have the time, shoot us some feedback on what you think.  I think there are a lot of "nuggets" we can discover by examining what is contained within...Also, there are some pretty thought provoking comments below if you get a chance to read those as well.

One final quote to reflect on:

"Government big enough to supply everything you need is big enough to take everything you have ... The course of history shows that as a government grows, liberty decreases." 

 

Just recently our President, after much controversy and questioning, gave the commencement speech at Notre Dame.  While giving this speech, he dove head first into the issue that prompted all of the hype in the first place...Abortion.  We all know this issue is a major one in our culture right now and if you ever want to heat up a room or create some division, just throw out a few words about this topic and it's a sure bet.

Despite my own personal feelings on the matter, I found the posture that Obama held on this issue to be very interesting, and possibly one that we should all look into more carefully.  He voiced his views, recognized others on this matter, and then as if to quote Ron Burgundy, pretty much said, "Agree to Disagree".
