The Progressives think they should be put down for their own good...
Euthanasia is evil because it plays so well with the application of government force for "society's good"...

The sole restaurant owner living with Down syndrome in the US is closing up shop after five years so he can relocate to Denver, Colorado, so he can be near his girlfriend, who also has Down syndrome.
Tim's Place in Albuquerque, New Mexico, belongs to Tim Harris.
Harris and his lady love Tiffani Johnson crossed paths when Harris was a speaker at a convention for Down syndrome, CBS reported on Friday.
In an interview with CBS, Johnson she had been 'too scared [to go up and say something to Harris] because I never met a guy like Tim.'
'I think I got hit by the love bug,' she recalled.
Harris told CBS: 'Every time I feel sad, my girlfriend makes me feel a lot happier.
'[When I look into her eyes], I see love. I see joy. And I see that I have a future here.'

NM PING!!
Beautiful.
Love Albuquerque. I bet Tim won’t be missing it, too much.
Thanks for posting.
A beautiful story. Yet there are many people who believe that all Down’s babies should be aborted.
What a fine film that was, and wise advice.
Thanks for posting and bringing it to mind!
RE: “Hub: “Sometimes the things that may or may not be true are the things a man needs to believe in the most. That people are basically good; that honor, courage, and virtue mean everything; that power and money, money and power mean nothing; that good always triumphs over evil; and I want you to remember this, that love... true love never dies. You remember that, boy. You remember that. Doesn’t matter if it’s true or not. You see, a man should believe in those things, because those are the things worth believing in.”

Dang, that blurred my screen a little...
Sweet! Good luck to you both.
And there's a special rung reserved down below just for them.
I am a proud new great aunt to a beautiful baby with Down’s.
More power to you lil’man.
Do what you gotta do, trust in God.
The capacity of the Human Heart to Love can not be measured.
Every life is a gift from God and how we treat them is a test.
That’s wonderful. :)
Great movie.

There are three movies and Father should set down and watch with his son.
Open Range
Broken Trail
Secondhand Lions
All excellent for teaching a boy on how a man should conduct himself.
Agreed on all three. Princess Bride makes it a solid must see 4 pack.

I would love to hear the “man speech” that Deniro gave to those young punks he beat up.
Funny how many boys that are ‘normal’ need to hear that speech and yet here is a boy who many would consider ‘handicapped’ and yet he became a man and most likely without it.

The few Downs folks I’ve been acquainted with over the years were sweet people.
