Anyone on the north side of 40, please raise your hand.

Thank you. Now for those of you on the glide path to middle age, here’s a question. Have your views on important matters changed as you got older?

It’s nothing to be ashamed of. For most, age brings maturity and life experiences and critical thinking, all of which change our viewpoint.

Those of us blessed with children, learn how precious they are, and even while respecting another individuals rights, many of us find the idea of abortion, killing the most vulnerable of our human race, horrible. Now I’m not going to debate just when life begins, but if that little person has a heart beat, that little person is alive, and any procedure which stops that heart beat is and has been since 1973, government sanctioned murder.

Since the Black Lives Matter movement took root in recent years, it’s leaders operating on a very restricted viewpoint, have angrily chastised any one, especially white people who respond “all lives matter”. Sorry to mess with your marketing slogan, but you should be ashamed for trying to cancel or denigrate those with opposing views, but the truth is to most right minded people--all lives do matter.

Except in places like Texas. Full disclosure. I love that state, it’s been my second home for about 40 years, ever since the Crane family moved to Houston about the time I started my career in Houston. Texans are proud and fun loving and don’t view bidness opportunities as a chance for the government to rip you off while your spirit and dreams are snuffed by red tape and nonsensical laws. In fact that view is so prevailing, the Texas State Legislature only goes into session once every two years, making it impossible to compete with their tree killing do-gooders in Sacramento, who regularly turn out more than 700 rules or laws or prohibitions that limit our freedom, pick our pockets and prompt us to start calling realtors in Idaho, Tennessee and a number of non communist run foreign outposts.

That's not to say the good old boys and girls who get together in Austin every other year get it right. Last week Governor Greg Abbott signed two pieces of paper that couldn’t have been more different, and if you hold that all lives matter, more counterintuitive. One bill pretty much puts the Texas abortion bidness out of bidness, banning any abortion after a baby's heart beat is detected. That's generally at about six weeks, and experts tells us so early in a pregnancy a number of women don’t even know they’re pregnant, Figure it will keep Austin’s attorneys and Judges busy for a while, but until and if it’s struck down, it will save the lives of a lot of little Lonestar Lives,

But the very same day, Governor Abbott signed the death warrant which allowed the state to lethally inject Quinten Jones, who was ordered to die for killing his 83 year old Aunt some 20 years ago,

Now there was a time, when I was younger that I supported Capital Punishment. They didn’t let their victims live--so they deserved to get the same punishment as their victims, and once dispatched, they would never kill again. But one day, the light went on, Either life is sacred or it’s not. Who gave a bunch of jailers and legislators the right to play God? Then as is often the case, humans with the I-Q of a kitchen sponge ride the needle without the IQ to know right from wrong. But really closing the deal for me, the opinion that spending life in a tiny cell, while wearing a jumpsuit, eating bologna sandwiches and wondering when your hygiene challenged cellmate will decide to recreate his wedding night, is worse than a few drug laced moments of transit to the next world.

Now I’ll bet most of those Good Ole Guys and Gals are old enough to have pondered life itself...but never zeroed in on the hypocrisy of saving babies and killing grown men and women. The only real life savers in Austin are sold in rolls at the candy store.
