Laura's recent ~80 line article says that what most people mean
when they refer to "society" is different from what the whole
bunch of people really is.  (that whole is the "society" I was trying
to get at, not the kind of >conception of society< Laura was describing)

ps:  The "life is bad but I still want to live, thank you" argument
is not appropriate, in my opinion.  The desire to live is meaningless
if one never was.  Abortion is an attempt to prevent another person
from happening.  (Yes, it's a living homo-sapiens.  We all know that)
Person-hood is NOT a black and white matter.  That is why the abortion
problem is so difficult to solve.  Life IS almost black and white.
You are either alive or dead.  (for the most part, I think  :-)
