Why is it...
Why is it that a Puerto Rico t-shirt on a white person or a PR flag bumper sticker is assumed to be a souvenir of a fun vacation, but a Puerto Rico t-shirt on a Latino person or a PR flag on their car is taken as a sign of hostility or that they're not "a real American"?
Why is it that NARAL has been re-named several times, with less emphasis on abortion with each successive name? Originally called the National Association for the Repeal of Abortion Laws, then the National Abortion Rights Action League, the National Abortion & Reproductive Rights Action League, and now NARAL Pro-Choice America. If you believe a woman has the right to abort the life within her, why take "abortion" out of your name? Why call it "reproductive freedom" or "reproductive justice" instead of "abortion"?
Why is it that Bill and Monica were none of our business but Bristol and Levi are? (Spare me the skew that it's different because the Palin's purport to be conservative, religious, etc.) Are other people's sex lives our business or not? Gay, straight, teen, adult, John Edwards, Elliot Spitzer...? It's a 'yes' or 'no' question.
Why is it that so many self-titled Christians express and demonstrate extreme intolerance, when according to the Bible, Jesus calls us to peace?
Why is it that so many self-titled Muslims express and demonstrate extreme intolerance, when Islam is a religion of peace?
Why is it that some people defend Muslims in general while attacking Christians in general for the same behavior?
Why is it that people from both major political parties seem convinced that the other party controls the media?
