   ==>You also can't despose (sic) of a led(sic)-acid battery in the county sewer   
   system.   
   ==>So is a led(sic)-acid battery not "property" just because there are some   
   ==>things you can't legaly (sic) do with it? Does it have "rights"?   
       
    You really sound too dumb to respond to, but I've   
    got nothing better to do at the moment, so . . .   
      
    You understand, don't you, that you may sell your   
    lead-acid battery, or give it away, for that matter,   
    because it is your property.   
      
    Try selling your kid and see what happens.   
      
    Now, before you rush madly off to dig up another   
    absurd example, let me just say . . . never mind.   
      
    If you really can't appreciate the difference between   
    a child and an inanimate piece of property I can't be   
    bothered trying to rescue you from the abyss of   
    stupidity you reside in. Life is too short.   
      
    Also, if you really see no difference between a child   
    and a thing, I hope to hell that you are as sterile as   
    boiling alcohol, because the thought of you as a   
    parent is too horrible to contemplate.

   Better an abortion clinic on every streetcorner   
   than the birth of one more unwanted child.
