'pro-life,' 'pro-choice'
bugaboo.
i'm thinking about these two words tonight: pro-life. pro-choice.
i've decided, again, of course, that everything political rides on one side or the other of a fence, and the fence isn't truth. it's perspective and spin.
so what if there were yet another way to frame the discussion, let's say, in a more truthful way...
'your life, your choice'
so that each person who votes would be cajoled (by straight-forward honest language [gasp!]) into thinking that his or her vote is really about his or her own life and his or her own choice -- NOBODY else's.
it could even 'trickle up' and 'trickle down' and become...the thinking person's choice (gasp!)
how exciting.
sigh.
