Bingo!
Thomas Sowell is a national treasure.
Indeed.
Amen.
Thomas Sowell for President.
As usual, Mr. Sowell renders a clear and sensible appraisal of a complex situation.
And Walter Williams for Vice-President, or....Attorney General!
Well said, Thomas Sowell.
These are not things that liberals have any track record of caring about. Is what really bothers them the idea of the sanctity of life and what that implies for their abortion issue? Or do they hate any challenge to the supremacy of judges — on which the whole liberal agenda depends — a supremacy that the Constitution never gave the judiciary?
Exactly so! Take heed, folks. The slide down the slippery slope has commenced and is well underway. Whether it's for money, or a drastic means of divorce, or simply to rid yourselves of an inconvenience--there's a new, legal way to murder your relatives.
Or, to look at it another way, there's a new, legal way for your relatives to murder you....
*And don't count on the courts to save anyone...
"If nothing else comes out of all this, there needs to be a national discussion of some humane way to end life in those cases when it has to be ended —"
Be afraid, be very afraid! If the discussion is turned in this direction only bad things can result.
Women have just been relegated to 1900 standards.
I can't wait for a husband to file a lawsuit to stop his WIFE from getting an ABORTION.
The media plays the public like a violin.
(steely)
BUMP!
The media and the legal pundits play the public. There is no room in legal discussion for words like mercy and compassion and conscience (god forbid!). All the happy little legal suits will glady tell you we should all celebrate that 'emotions' don't play into judicial and legal decisions.....
Of course, when the legals that want to Terri to die are put on the spot they will all of sudden act so compassionate and proclaim she is 'not suffering' as if they know anything about it. These people don't give a rat's a$$ if she is suffering or not. They just want to gloat and smirk that they were 'correct' in their predictions of the legal decisions and they stand on the 'side of the law' with their opinions. Oh, but we don't dare call them for what they truly are.
Cold, heartless, souless, callous, cruel and merciless. They really don't care about those 'qualities' anyway. They just conveniently pretend to know of them when the cameras are on....
Sowell/Williams ticket - wouldn't that knock the socks off the Liberals!
Do you think that taking this case to court has been helpful, or would not everyone be just as well off if this decision had to be hammered out between family and doctors?
That line read like a gnat in the eye to me, too.
Not when a husband wants to kill his wife, a wife who is.... 1. not comatose, 2. not on life support & 3. has no Living Will.
The answer to your question is not only no, Hell No!
