Welcome to Buster's Blog

Irregular commentary on whatever's on my mind -- politics, sports, current events, and life in general. After twenty years of writing business and community newsletters, fifteen years of fantasy baseball newsletters, and two years of email "columns", this is, I suppose, the inevitable result: the awful conceit that someone might actually care to read what I have to say. Posts may be added often, rarely, or never again. As always, my mood and motivation are unpredictable.

Hooray For Ireland!


The Irish people just voted by a decisive two-to-one margin to overturn their 35 year-old law banning virtually all abortions.

Good for them!  The referendum to repeal their 8th Amendment was a clear piss-off message to the conservative Irish Catholic hierarchy.

Here's my message to all anti-abortion moralizers, whether Irish, American, or anywhere else in the world:

Since you're so vehemently opposed to abortion, don't have one!  But please let others choose for themselves.  Your position is not pro-life, it's just pro-birth, forcing women to deliver unwanted babies.  And beyond delivery, you just don't give a shit about the future lives of mother, father and child.

Around the world, abortion must remain legal, safe, easily accessible, and affordable.
