Death Now or Later

It's a political given that Democrats favor killing humans at the beginning of life (abortions) and Republicans would rather murder at the end (capital punishment). It's interesting that Mike Huckabee is the only one I know to have acknowledged this dichotomy in his book:
Some wonder how a person so pro-life as me could accept the law of a death penalty. But a death sentence is a result of a lengthy and thorough judicial process applied to a person deemed guilty beyond a reasonable doubt. That's far different from one person singularly deciding to end the life of a totally innocent and helpless unborn child. In that case, there is no process of justice, no evidence of guilt presented, no defense for the condemned child, and no appeal.

I fundamentally disagree with The Biggest Loser because I always thought killing was wrong no matter when it happened, but that's a liberal for you. I digress.

Slate has a good article on why Democrats are wimps when it comes to state-sponsored murder.

Hello

Hey everyone,



This is the first entry or the Moore Blog, brainchild of one Adam Moore. Since this blog is soon to be an internet sensation and pop culture phenomenon, let me introduce the main players:



Larry Moore (Dad): A 56 year old marketing research executive who lives in Toronto/Houston. The last known remaining Weimar High School graduate with any teeth remaining. Raised on a farm, but quickly adapted to suburban life by once not exercising for a world record 726 straight days.
Likes: Cookies, driving without the radio on, following the rules, and geography baseball.
Dislikes: Blizzards, music made after 1973, and the slow sweep to the short side of the field.





Nan Moore (Mom): Recovery room nurse/amateur gardener who has more plants than Johnny Appleseed. Originally from Panama City, Florida, she moved to Houston because she found it more scenic.
Likes: Angels, kitties, bunco, wine.
Dislikes: Loud arguments, running out of wine.


Adam Moore: 27 year old bankruptcy attorney living in Dallas. Takes people's houses and crushes people's dreams for a living. Owns a dog that eats more expensive food than I do.

Likes: Magnets, Dallas Cowboys football, Oprah, being the only person in the world with the previous two likes.

Dislikes: Jeans that cost less than $300, going 4 months without taking an expensive vacation








Craig Moore: 22 year old seminary student living in Washington D.C. with a newly shaved Fu Man Chu. Has confused several faithful people who have sworn they have seen Jesus at the movie theater. Is one of 8 people in the world who regularly plays Super Nintendo past the year 1995 (Steven Moore being the other one).
Likes: Ron Paul, Dr. Pepper, removing ticks from his beard
Dislikes: Jeans that cost more than $3, the existence of government, beer or any sort of fun



Steven Moore: 24 year old slacker who lives in San Diego. Left Houston for Southern California after quitting a job in sales where his greatest accomplishment was not showing up for 3 days straight and having nobody notice. Once grew the worst mustache in the history of the world.
Likes: Sleeping till noon every day, mustard, sharks, and watching tv while having a window open and pretending he is outside.
Dislikes: License plates, food which is green or black.
So there you have it. Should be a good time.
