Where Do We Go From Here?

Mark your calendars, folks. Today is one of those days, that, as you look back in history, will be a significant milestone in the degradation of our culture.

Terri Schiavo finally succumed to the effects of court-ordered starvation and dehydration. Oh wait, I'm sorry. Her husband Michael said that's not what it was; they were removing her nutrition and hydration. See the difference? (My head is beginning to hurt already.)
For a brief review of this 15 year saga, go here.
Here's an archive of WND articles, dating back to 2003.

Unfortunately, I'm not surprised this occurred. Its just an extension of the culture of death brought to the forefront by the abortion advocates. Its the latest salvo in the "induced death for convenience" war that is being waged. The handicapped should be quaking in their boots. They are now all legitimate targets for elimination should their existence become "inconvienent": "Oh, we can't leave them like that...That's no life.".

Now, the bad news. It isn't going to end here. We will see more and more of this murder for convenience. "You know, we really should put them out of their misery."
Then after a while, we will move on to new territory: Murder to avoid "misery": "Well, ya know, I'm getting pretty old. I've lived a decent life. I don't want to suffer. Why don't I just end it now and die with dignity?"
Then finally, we will move on to chronologically-mandated death. After all, if we kill all the people over 80, we could probably save Social Security without too much trouble.

I vaguely remember reading about a country that tried selective, mandated killing about 60 years ago...some guy Adolph something-or-other.

As for as Jeb and George, I'm somewhat stunned as to their new-found constitutional limitations on their offices. Seems these limits never play a role with regard to their political agendas.
They just went through their Pontious Pilot-esque hand wringing to appease the dumb and blind faithful on the right. Had George really wanted to do something, all he would have had to do was issue an Executive Order and the entire episode would have been brought to an end.

Is That a Pig with Wings??

Who would have ever imagined...Jesse Jackson and me on the same side of an issue!

Well Jes, even a stopped watch is right twice a day.

There's No Need to Fear...

...I'm Still Here!

Greetings All.
Obviously, its been a while since my last post. Hectic work schedule prevents thorough perusing of the news. What I have seen has been expected/more of the same/obviously inane/boring. So, I haven't taken the time to post regarding the obvious.

I'll be here as time permits.
Stop by weekly, until volume resumes.

Time to Revisit Roe

National Geographic is about to begin a movement to outlaw abortion (although probably unknowingly).

The new generation of three- and four-dimensional ultrasound imagery provides striking views of fetuses inside the womb. Parents-to-be appreciate the lifelike pictures, and doctors gain an improved understanding of fetal development and behavior.
Four-dimensional imagery shows objects in 3-D moving in something close to real time. Doctors have long known that fetuses move, but the physical behavior revealed by 4-D scans is expanding that knowledge exponentially.
"We see the earliest movements at 8 weeks," Campbell said. "By 12 weeks or so they are seen yawning and performing individual finger movements that are often more complex than you'll see in a newborn," he said. "It may be due to the effects of gravity after birth."
The images reveal facial expressions, like smiling, at 20 weeks. Beyond 24 weeks fetuses may suck their thumbs, stick their tongues out (perhaps using newly developed taste buds to sample amniotic fluid imbued with the flavors of the mother's food), and make apparently emotional faces.

How is Planned Parenthood and NARAL going to spin this into their "its just a blob of tissue" nonsense now??
The culmination will be when someone uses this technology to record an abortion being performed; grizzly but effective.

How would that be for Reality TV?

You Heard It Here First!

WND reports that "Tsunami suit filed against forecasters European victims of December wave suing U.S. agency, Thai officials, hotel"

Remember, you heard it here first!

The plaintiffs accuse NOAA of not informing Indian Ocean nations of the tsunami even though the warning center was aware of the undersea quake. Thai authorities are accused of not releasing information about the impending sea surge as soon as they received it – a failure that plaintiffs claim was responsible for thousands of the deaths that occurred. The hotel chain is named in the suit because the plaintiffs say it knowingly built the Khao Lak Beach resort in Phuket on an earthquake fault and failed to properly inform relatives of victims of the disaster, as well as failing to repatriate some bodies.

This should take a few decades to resolve.
