Choose Life…  “The question is no longer whether we are on a slippery slope, careening downward toward a world of machine tooled and stunted humanity-a world in love is displaced by technique and longing by social planning.  We’re on the slope all right, and the question is whether the brakes can be applied soon enough.” (George Weigel, The Southern Cross, 1/09)
