Look at it this way. If you are right, then I can hire a killer in the privacy of my own home and be free of any legal sanction, because it's a private matter and any law against hiring killers would demean my character.

Imagine if the holding were extended this way. Then Dave Barry could write a humorous column saying, "I'm sure that if the Supreme Court makes it okay to murder someone in the privacy of the home, a vast army of Americans will start killing people will-nilly in the home."

And the once-levelheaded sinkspur could marvel and guffaw over the truly inspired wisdom of that foppish nabob of nyuk, Dave Barry.

It actually was in RoevWade. I included the hired killer, because of the consent problem. In Roe, the hired killer is off too, the fact the that the victim did not give consent was brushed over by announcing that the victim was a nonviable tissue mass.

Kevin, you're turning into a nattering scold.

The glass is always half-empty with you.

Even when I agree with you, you see a pony and you're looking for the pile.

Your slippery slope has now taken you into the legalization of murder, which makes me wonder if you've been drinking.

As John Riggins said to Judge O'Connor once, "Lighten up, Sandy."
