...relish being called an "extremist" for having a definite opinion on the abortion issue and for being able to find no point where a fetus miraculously becomes a human being if it were not one all along. (It may not be a completely developed specimen of humanity, but then again, neither is a ten-year-old.) I don't run around with shotguns (neither does any pro-lifer I know), but I can't help hoping that the laws of the country will change to protect these "least among us," as many of our other articles of legislated morality already...
...pilots cannot be replaced quickly or easily. The pilots' union badly bloodied United Airlines in a strike in 1985, and pilots hammered the final nail in Eastern Airlines' corporate coffin in a strike in 1989. The majority of American's pilots served in the military, and many seem to relish the notion of a dogfight with their famously pugnacious boss.

I fervently believe these options are to be preferred, in all cases, and I relish the liberty I have to reach such a conclusion. In America, I am free to choose any definition of life that I please, based on any religion I choose to follow. I am free to enter into a loving, personal relationship with God and this encompasses the freedom not to obey...
Hollywood's interest in a cause often means Big Money. A benefit movie premiere can raise up to $350,000 in a single night. Still, as Starbright managing director Chris Garvey notes, "Our board members give more than their money and Rolodexes. They relish the hands-on experience of dealing with children in hospitals...
