1. I must say I was surprised to see him advocate abortion. nt

2. He didn't.

But that is not at all what's important about what he said. I'm a little suprised at the lack of response here.

3. Editorials tends to be quiet. The same story got lots of attention in

other forums. He may not have, if you parse him carefully,
but he'd best not be surprised if some read him that way.

4. big mouth Ben--he must be wearing a kevlar round the clock

5. it's obvious he wasn't *advocating* it. however...

it was equally obvious that he believes that one of the major causal factors in whether a person commits a crime is the color of their skin.

therein lies the well justified outrage.

7. Cause, or correlation.

Can't tell from what he said.
