   My daughter knows the boy who hacked into Sarah’s email. He isn’t very technical at all. He typed her email address into YAHOO, and there was a “Did you forget your email?” link, so he clicked that. It asked him two or three privacy questions that he could answer by googling, since all of Palin’s private information is now public knowledge. It then asked him to enter a new password. So, on a lark, he did. The next thing he knew he was being threatened by police to one year in jail. He is very sorry.

   I do think that Roe V Wade should be overturned, but it won’t be in the current moral environment. If Roe was overturned, it would not make abortion illegal. It would only give states the power to restrict/illegalize it. If a state legislature did make abortion illegal, people would just get illegal abortions or go to another state, or try to give themselves abortions. The cost of having a baby is just so much greater than the cost of aborting the baby (financially, not spiritually). We need a society that cares and nurtures poor children, so that the poor be more likely to carry their babies to term. The best way to be pro-life is to support poor children worldwide, support universal health care, and to be against any kind of killing.

   How did the content of the emails get to the media?

   1. Because the media finds a weakness in someone worth criticizing (like a person with status) and harp on that weakness until the gullible public believe in it and buy more papers/magazines; watch more stories; read more blogs related to the story and thus create more of an audience to sell to their client and thus create more revenue. Whatever sells.

   Criticizing Barack Obama won’t sell very well, so the majority of the spineless media won’t do it, and therefore in turn the majority of the public won’t no any different.

   On the other hand… Criticizing Sarah Palin does. Simple.

   2. Irrelevant… 😀

   3. Maybe slightly conflicted. It’s a difficult one, because as a Christian you don’t want to make the same mistakes as our fathers by becoming a judgmental monster, casting stones every which way. But at the same time, if people don’t stand up for what the Bible clearly teaches, what would our society become?

   “Humanism is the diguise of a rotting society.”

   4. Because once a system is in place, (no matter how illogical or unsubstantiated it is) it becomes far too great a task to massage into culture a new belief system that almost entirely disagrees with the old. In other words, it’s not worth the effort. That is the reason. Not because there is not enough evidence for Creationism (because there is) but because it is too much effort to change everything.

   5. Because she isn’t Green. In today’s “tree-hugging” society no one likes that. Therefore they’ll find any excuse to be threatened. Whereas the root of it originates elsewhere.

   6. It is a travesty to human rights. I am thankful I live in South Africa. 🙂

   Paragraph of 2 of point no.1 was supposed to read as such:

   “…public won’t KNOW any different.”

   Apologies.
