I Love the Supreme Courts Decisions Toe the Line - Right to Refuse - Abortion - Affirmative Action - Harmful Cultures - Quote from Swami By Adam Mundorf I Love the Supreme Courts Decisions Man, call me a bigot but I love each and everyone of the supreme court's recent decisions.  I'll explain my viewpoints in the following paragraphs.  Hopefully, I can change your mind about something or you may already hold my viewpoints.  I have found that privately people agree but publicly they wouldn't dare, for free of retribution.  If we as Americans, can't hold opposing views and still be civil, what hope do we have of progress?  Anywho, enjoy the following.... Toe the Line Wake up and smell the roses.  I have no fear, no anxiety and never look over my shoulder.  Why do you ask?  I toe the line.  I pay my taxes.  I follow the rules.  I follow the laws.  I follow the rules and laws while expecting everybody else to do the same. Life is extremely peaceful this way.  Those who don&
