Today, the violence is masked lest the unsuspecting masses grow alarmed, yet in quantity and horror just might be comparable.

I think that part of the problem is that the real violence today has been sanitized to the point that many don't see it for what it was. Michael Schiavo didn't shoot or stab Terri, he deprived her of nutrition and hydration, the bioethicist death cult doesn't murder their "patients," they "euthanize" them. The abortionists don't butcher the unborn, they "terminate" a "glob of cells." But people become passionate about the war on terror, because they see it as death -- nothing will change until people realize that the left's agenda is far deadlier than any armed enemy.

C.S. Lewis discussed the point in "The Abolition of Man." We have but one moral code to appeal to. You can only appeal to goodness. You can't go around selling cowardice, treachery, murder and the like. When you want to do unlawful things and immoral things, you are obliged to use euphemisms to try to disguise your purposes.

That works in reverse. We can spot the serpents when they use deceitful language. If they don't state their case in plain, honest words, they are trying to sell something evil -- count on it.

The justice system and the mega-medical corporations are killing lots of people. Having a living will gives them free reign, can be altered or a chart can be noted "living will" and patients unwittingly sign their own lives away.

Will to Live is "safer" than a Living Will which is code for go ahead, neglect me and make mistakes and I'm okay with it.

And, bad hospices love death as much as al quaeda. The guy mentioned by 8mmmauser today is w/LifePath Hospice. The St. Pete Times failed to mention that Terri was held hostage and killed at Hospice Woodside, Hospice of the Suncoast, Pinellas.

The old duffer will have a better experience than Terri did. Natural death is what it is. Murder is what bad hospices do with judges and lawyers' blessings. If people would realize that you just don't put people down like they put down dogs at the pound! That is what is happening. People are putting down their loved ones like dogs. That is a sign of the end of a civilization.
