Contradiction

Does anybody else wonder about contradictions? I was just thinking about several:

Why protest against killing animals and serial killers, then fight to keep infanticide a basic right?

Why block all domestic oil exploration, power plants, and refineries, then accuse others of jacking up energy prices to enrich their friends in the energy business?

How can one be a socialist and be filthy rich?

Why demagogue the Kyoto treaty when one knows it exempts the world's greatest polluters while just picking America's pocket?

Why demagogue government-funded embryonic stem cell research when there hasn't been a single success with them?

Why pass laws to keep people from smoking and eating fatty foods, while demonstrating for legalization of recreational drugs?

Why continue to harrass Christians to keep them from expressing their faith anywhere in public, yet promote atheism, paganism, buddism, and even Islam in public schools?

How do pacifists decide to demand military intervention in Darfur?

How is it inclusive to support preferences based on skin color? How does granting preferences in college admissions to government contracts to wealthy non-white and non-asian people advance any social good?

Why does science only count if at least one scientist claims to have proven one's view?

How can supporting illegal immigration be in the interest of labor unions?

If the minimum wage isn't enough to live on at $5.15, would you suggest it is enough at $6.50?

Just wondering.
