those of us who believe a state sanctioned starvation is immoral are, well, dead wrong. The New York Times told us in a headline last week that starving to death was a most gentle way to die. The Associate Press cited a study that showed that on a sliding scale from one to nine, experts believed that dying from a lack of food and water was all in all, a very good death. The liberal elite exposed for the misanthropist, eugenicists, genocidalists..that they really are. My take from this is, genocide is ok as long as the Earth is saved and those being murdered don't suffer and being dehydrated to death or being left in the desert or being put on a death march through the desert is a most gentle way to die. Anybody who thinks the liberals are good should now being able to see their deception cracked. They are all misantropists at heart.

I know many Republicans who support Michael Schiavo's efforts to end his wife's life, and I know many Democrats who agree with me that starving Terri to death is inhumane and beneath us as a country. Starving? Yes. Absurd. If she is in fact brain dead and cannot hope for anything remotely resembling what would be called "a normal human life", why CAN'T she simply be given an overdose of, sat, morphine, and and this painlessly? Because to do so is considered murder, it seems. So the law is in the ridiculous position of condoning a grotesque death, but prohibiting an easy one. But it is during these kind of dustups in American culture that elites earn their bad name. Deservedly. I could name countless distortions trotted out by the mainstream media, Washington think-tanks or political organizations, but will instead focus on the media's claim that those of us who believe a state sanctioned starvation is immoral are, well, dead wrong. Then I guess I'll have to be dead wrong, but it's immoral. The New York Times told us in a headline last week that starving to death was a most gentle way to die. Under some circumstance- -where it can be shown that those centers that perceive pain are gone- -maybe. Till then, not. Considering that there seem to be multiple areas and it is likely not all are known, such a statement is absurd. The Associate Press cited a study that showed that on a sliding scale from one to nine, experts believed that dying from a lack of food and water was all in all, a very good death. Nuts. A self-serving absurdity.
