What do you think of this cartoon?
By Rainer Hachfeld of Germany:
I think the artist’s point is that, after over a year of “gestation,” the health care bill that passed is a lot smaller than expected. But as a pro-lifer, for me it also symbolizes the fact that the fates of unborn babies are in Obama’s hands.
It is my experience that those who have not complied with a strict diet are also those who imagine that the psychological rewards could offset the inconvenience of the diet. I’m sure there are isolated cases such as you suggest, but most such individuals would quickly be dissuaded by the many inconveniences associated with dietary avoidance.
