Get the pseudo-intellectual mug.Public Schooler -- one of the sad individuals with parents smart enough not to embarass them by having them test to get accepted into a real high school (Notre Dame Prep). Instead they recieved a free, ridiculously sub-par education providing only enough substance to help these sad individuals develop a slight grasp of the english language, so they could then write grammer school level comments about private school girls they spent their lives trying to be like. You know who you are... and you still can't get into the good parties. Give it up.

Get the Perdo mug.There are people who consider themselves pro-life. They are eager to stand and scream in front of a Planned Parenthood clinic (harassing women going in for Pap smears but not actually stopping even one abortion). However, they don't seem the least bit interested in opposing war or capital punishment (which would really save lives).
They also seem uninterested in addressing rape, incest, poverty, economic and social injustice, lack of access to adequate nutrition, lack of access to adequate health care, or sexual ignorance -- all of which are factors that drive the rate of abortion.
This leads outside observers to the conclusion that such people are more interested in being seen to be publicly righteous than in actually furthering the values they claim to uphold. I tell you, they have their reward.
