As an American I am proud of our country and the people I've met through the years. People go out of their way to help others. The less able someone is to help themselves, the more people seem to pitch in and sacrifice to help them. So when I heard that John Kerry believes that life begins at conception it troubled me greatly because he is also pro choice. That means that to him the most helpless of all Americans don't need protection. Wow. It makes me wonder what else he believes is wrong in our country but won't use his power to make right? I wonder what he thinks of terrorist? Or does it matter what he believes if he won't act on it?
