"The essence of civilization is that the strong have a duty to protect the weak," Bush said. "In cases where there are serious doubts and questions, the presumption should be in favor of life."

These words ring quite hollow considering the source, George W. Bush. A man that has sent Americans to die in Iraq, in turn killing thousands of Iraqis. A man who sent more people to their death than any other governer in the history of Texas and likely any other state. A man who once mocked a woman he condemned: Just before her execution date, Tucker appealed for clemency on the grounds that she had become a born-again Christian. Bush's reply: "Please,'Bush whimpers, his lips pursed in mock desperation, 'don't kill me.' "

Yeah, his presumptions are in favor of life.

Holy shit, I've just applied to the Peace Corps. And, in 8 hours I'm going to be on a flight to Costa Rica. Holy shit. I've got to pack.
