ASK ME NO QUESTIONS...

Questions that I don't hear being asked, but should be:

1. To those who claim to be pro-life: If a fetus is human and aborting it is murder, why do you approve the murder of an innocent victim of rape or incest, horrific as those events may be?

2. To the Dems who voted for the new health care law: Considering the mandatory provisions of that law, how are you going to refer to America now that your vote says you no longer think of it as "the land of the free"?

3. To parents who punish their children for lying or stealing: How would you answer if your child asked you if there is one provably true moral code of behavior...and what is the standard for it?

4. Why are professional athletes permitted to ingest food supplements, minerals, vitamins and other chemicals to enhance their physical abilities, but not steroids?

5. Is the reason why naturalized citizens can legally vote for President but not run for President that one's philosophy and loyalty are determined by one's place of birth or the citizenship of one's parents?

6. Is it true that bigotry, prejudices and ignorance are categorically erased when a person sits down in a jury box?

7. If a person is old enough to choose a mate for life and a parent for children, why is he or she not old enough to vote for a congressman to serve for two years?

8. Do you think all 80 and 90 year olds driving on the roads today could pass a driving test?

9. Why do U.S. soldiers wear uniforms when our enemies do not?

10.Do you still believe that reality shows are really real?

11.If the economy fails to recover and millions of people literally have no money to buy food for themselves and their children, what do you anticipate their next step will be?

12.Do you know whether any of the hundred people who previously handled those dollar bills in your pocket had the swine flu or bubonic plague?

13.Are not despair and despondency our deadliest enemies?

14.When you stare at a lion behind bars in a cage, does the lion see you as being behind bars in a cage?

15.What did James Thurber mean when he said "It is better to ask some of the questions than to know all the answers"?
