“And yet our opponents tell us not to interfere with abortion. They tell us not to impose our morality on those who wish to allow or participate in the taking of the life of infants before birth. Yet no one calls it imposing morality to prohibit the taking of life after a child is born. We’re told about a woman’s right to control her own body. But doesn’t the unborn child have a higher right, and that is to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness?” – Ronald Reagan

Yeah Alamont may have had a small one at the same time.

That has been the biggest one I have ever felt.  It scared me being on the second floor of an old wooden building it swayed for sure then it kept going  my goodness.

MY gf called me from work to ask if I felt an earthquake...
I responded:
"That wasn't an earthquake... what you felt was an aftershock leftover from the sex that we had this morning.   I'm that good!"...

She didn't buy it
