So let me get this straight...

So let me get this straight...Officials in Canton, Ohio are going to charge the suspect in the death of the pregnant mother and her unborn fetus with 2 counts of murder. How can this be? I thought that the slaying of unborn fetuses in Ohio was allowed? We have several places right here in Dayton where one can have that done if one wants. Shouldn't this be merely one count of murder and one count of late-term abortion?
OK, OK, maybe I figured it out. It's only murder when the mom didn't want the fetus to die, but if the mom wants the fetus to die, it's just abortion...So moms are empowered to define what is murder and what's not. Or maybe it's the location. If it happens in a home or a field it's illegal, but if it happens at Planned Parenthood it's legal. Does that make your head spin? Once again we seem to have, as Francis Schaeffer once said, "Both feet planted firmly in mid-air".
What a tangled web we weave.
Can we please have some consistency here?
It's hard to be consistent, liberals, isn't it?

Amazing Human Intelligence

Having just returned from another excursion to the Intelligent Ground Vehicle Competition with our student team, I am reminded again how amazing is the human mind. We attempt to design intelligent machines and pour unending effort into the task only to find that it is exceedingly difficult to describe even rudimentary intelligence in C++.

Does this tell us something?

The human mind is fearfully and wonderfully made and our reasoning abilities will never be mimicked even by our best computers.
