Well Said
Now that they've established you don't have to be dying, we can see court-approved medically-supervised murder for people who are just depressed...

This morning on FOX, right after a segment on Terri they said congress has now determined that anyone 40 or above is OLD. Yep, we're old and as such we aren't in perfect physical health and aren't as good looking as we once were. Wasn't there a movie once about killing off anyone over a certain age. Hey, it'll help the Social Security crisis and eliminate the drainage on our health system. Hey, why not throw in those with brown eyes or those who merely need glasses? Where does it stop?
Right to Die, pretty soon it will be a campaign issue for the left, We care so much for you that ending your life should be your choice.
These are the messages that will be REINFORCED to our children in school. They have been taught the message for 2-3 decades now, subliminally.
How many of you have heard about the "Lifeboat Game"? It's taught to all our young school-kids. 'Goes like this:
..."There;s been a shipwreck. You have escaped with 6-8 others in a small lifeboat. It's too small to support everyone. It has two too many. A decision must be made."
(they are then given a rundown on the people in the boat - which always includes, say, an old person, a very sick one, etc...then they are to decide who gets tossed overboard. There's no moral lessons mentioned. They are TAUGHT who - in society - is less worthy of dying - being killed. the lesson is taught by latent imprinted. They grow up with this "lesson" hidden in the back of their mind. So it's not a far stretch for them to think first, that people like Terri are better off being thrown overboard - but indeed, have a duty to go 'peacefully' overboard, indeed, had "the duty to die."
The following is what I posted a bit ago on another thread - it goes with this one also. (We sleep at our peril.)
******************************************
We can make sure there's a strong
Terri's Law passed - that stop's this madness now. We must see that our school children are taught History - so that they are aware where such evil leads. (The euthanasia/murder of the innocents - the "inconvenients", the handicapped, was the first step the Hitler took - and after the citizenry accepted that, it wasn't very far to slip into the rest of it...) We must keep in constant contact with our Senators and Congressmen and see that the laws are changed, not only a Terri's Law, but the activist's judges get cut off at the knees. And we must lobby, relentlessly, our state reps to make sure these laws are changed in our individual states = for this is what allowed them to murder Terri. They got a "feeding tube" added to the list of "life support" in Florida - in their slow, methodical quest to kill her. But make no mistake, not just her - we are all on their list. - Read Felos's book. It puts a chill up your spine. He would've been on the right hand side of Hitler - his willing partner - an angel of death. We must tuck our naivete into our back pockets and remember that these people - the Michael Schiavo's, the Felos's, the Greer's - live in every society, every country, every age. The only thing that keeps them in check is good laws kept strong by good men. They will always look for a chink in the walls, for they believe they are superior to their fellow man - that they know best and they should rule and decide for all of us. Problem is, their minds are twisted, their souls shriven and black. they walk in darkness. But if we remember that darkness has no independent source, we can defeat them! Darkness can only exist in the absence of Light. Think about it. Light has many sources - the sun, the stars, fire, light bulbs. Turn on a light and darkness is defeated, cowering like a guilty thing in the night. We are the Light. There is no "bulb" or other source that turns on the dark. It has NO POWER SOURCE. Light always wins - but it must be turned on. And we are the LIGHT. So if we do not do our part - the dark side wins by default - our fault. And we must keep tract of what laws are being passed in our states. This was their first paving stones. And mark my word, it will get worse. I believe an investigation will link the medical profession and the HMO's complicit in lowering the bar - to save money. (And how many did we see complaisant that Terri should go because she was costing tax payer's money - "money out of MY pocket" - these people would pull the plug on us in a NY minute) Make a note of this: I predict the dark side will use Terri's struggle to make a case for removing family and discounting living wills, because of the bitter division there was here - and move the decision to the Dr.s, the hospital "ethics committees" and the judges. We must not let down our guard, keeping in mind that if we do, we could be the next parents going thru' what the Schindlers are. Our children could see us hastened off in a "peaceful death". Our children and grandchildren could suffer the same fate. And, like Nazi Germany, once one segment of society is accepted for extermination - it's a short step to another group, and on... Turn the heat on - shine the Light on this and do not stop. This is what we can do about it. For Terri and for our own...Then Terri will not have suffered in vain. Terri will never be forgotten. But for today, as I took a nap, a comforting thought came to me: Terri is now free. She can talk. She can walk. She is free and in loving care.
They'll get my little girl over my dead body!
