Your democrat neighbours admit they are not imortal? No, seriously, this issue of hospice death culture touches us all, it's way beyong polictics IMO.
Yes, the death culture is reaching for us all and not by the means that God has planned for us.
The fact that there is no dissenting opinion among more than a half dozen households causes me to wonder if it's because the democrat households are just nominally liberal (being deep in red state territory.) Something I find sorta plausible, they all at least profess to be Christian, though some don't have a clue what that involves as I know it.
But, also, this is a "middle class" working neighborhood. Some of us are financially secure, others struggle from paycheck to paycheck. If the question were brought out in the open I think we'd all have to say we'd be on a hospice death list if physical circumstances took a turn for the worse. So, maybe your immortality question has some meat in it.
All of us except one couple have been in situations where we have had to care for dying relatives also. Because we've been there we fail to grasp the motives (we agree on money being the motive) of the families who promote death.
On the west side of me is an older couple. The man has a serious heart problem. I think they are actually "living" in a similar situation now to that Mae is in. I'm thinkin' that man's wife or either of his kids would kill somebody that tried to dehydrate and starve Chuck. (They are conservatives not liberals anyway)
See, I wasn't kidding, this afternoon's conversation and lack of disagreement from *anyone* along my alleyway have really made me think. I hope this bodes as something that could turn to momentum for LIFE. I just can't give up hope. This at least seemed positive though I can only speculate as to the root of our agreement.
