In an interview yesterday, Eastwood said he's only exploring the issue, not making a statement. He said his personal views are most closely expressed by the eloquent priest in the movie who stood foresquare against euthanasia.

For myself, I prefer the old Eastwood movies. They were definite good-vs-evil black-and-white morality plays where nobody doubted who the bad guys were, and could root for the good guys. They were always pick-me-ups and NOT downers. That's what I pay my money for anyway.

Thanks for the info. I like Clint Eastwood -- probably the toughest moral issue is the scene in Dirty Harry when he is torturing the mad man to try to save the little girls life [who had her grisly pulled and the mad man also also provided a piece of the little girl's underwear].

To what end do you go to save someone's life? Ultimately, the girl dies, but Eastwood does find where she was left to die by torturing the villian.

Maybe Clint should go to Florida and support Terri -- at least I would hope he might...
