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.
