All Just Part of the Job?

Hi,

Do you think these Russian spies were told to "live together" to act like a typical married couple, and over time ended up having children because they started to have feelings for one another, or do you think they were told to have children together to establish a more believable back-story? Pretty disturbing stuff if the latter.

What difference does it make? True love conquers all?

The parents should have taken this into consideration before having children and living the life of a spy,

Cops have kids. As do firefighters, soldiers, sailors, skydivers, mountain climbers, and commuters on the LA freeways. So what? Is it your opinion that only work at home CPAs should have kids? Life is dangerous, it has almost a 100% fatality rate.

None of those professions you mentioned "force" you to bear children as a cover for your real occupation. I find the human right implications of this story disturbing to say the least, thus my pondering.

Hi,

If you're going to talk about the news today, I think this is much more interesting. The Supremes have inched one step closer to clarifying the Second Amendment. And in a direction I approve of. However, they ducked the real issue, once again.

Interesting read. I'm all in favor of more rights for the citizens and less stricter government mandates, so long as it keeps the people best interest at heart, be that freedom or restriction. In this case, I think everybody should be allowed to own a handgun for recreational use and self defense, plain and simple, however from reading that article, I get the impression this may only be the tip of the iceberg on public opinion.
