Cradle to grave

I genuinely believe that consistency is a lazy fallback for when invention fails. Also, I hate to nitpick. And I realize that all my political perceptions tend to be tinted pink in an old-school trade unionist way. But how can anybody oppose choice and support the death penalty with the same brain? Well, it makes sense I guess if you believe that every important decision ought to be government-mediated. So maybe they’re simply offering a moderate and prudent compromise: “Look, just have the kid and if after a couple decades it isn’t working out, then we’ll kill ‘em for you.”
