Winning Position: Circuses
Sometimes when I watch the reality TV show known as politics, I get the impression it is just a show put on for the voters. It seems sort of like professional wrestling in that they just pretend to be adversaries, but it is all fake, and they are really all working together to keep their jobs and make the world they want. They are just working us up about politics for our entertainment.Then other times it seems like they are giving various categories of voters just enough goodies (welfare programs, bailouts, freedoms, programs that give the illusion of safety) to keep the people satisfied. They even act like they are generous, when in reality, they are giving some people money they took from other people, and letting us have freedoms we should have by natural right.Which do you think it is, entertainment or bribery?

Should people be allowed to decide what we do to our own bodies? Does any government have a legitimate right to control abortion, drug legalization, assisted suicide, experimental cancer treatments that have not been approved by the FDA, herbal supplements, sodas over 16 oz in New York, etc.?Regardless of your position on it, this is where left and right can agree.

According to what I have read (and I may be wrong about some Muslims' beliefs) Muslims believe all people will spend at least some time in hell, except those who die in waging jihad against non-Muslims. Apparently, many Muslims believe that these Jihadis go straight to Paradise, get 72 virgins, etc. However, if the body is dismembered, cremated, or defiled, the Muslim's soul cannot enter Paradise.Should US military and law enforcement agencies confiscate the bodies of those who die committing terrorism or waging jihad against the US and our allies, and feed the bodies to pigs so that the terrorists cannot enter paradise?
