That’s all I have to say about THAT!

As for the rest, it’s been an interesting read ……… after a couple days of thinking about the original questions that Lixy posed, I do now have something to post.

Bibi said it ALL for me. I KNOW I do not, and NEVER will, have a right to even an opinion on something that I can NEVER know. I do not believe that any other man has that right either.

Those numbers caught my attention right from the start. Just the initial post meant that there had to be an average of half a century of data. I know that you can find almost ANYTHIG you want on such a controversial subject, but, as Lil noted, those just jumped out as having as much ‘cause’ as ‘information’ involved with them………. Maybe more.

i feel the same way about right to die….. …..or anything else that has to do with a person's body and no-one elses. drugs, seatbelts, right to die, etc.

Many of my BASIC feelings are expressed here. ‘Protecting OTHERS’ from someone seems to often turn into ‘protection from ourselves’ at any price. Law makers have neither the means nor the right to decide what is good for me.

[see above statement and keep it in context]
I believe that making any law that the is completely unenforceable is a waste and makes fools out of the entire system.

The problem with ‘electing’ a life long position that is perhaps more important and powerful than the Presidency, is that it would mean that power and money would be the driving force. Can you imagine the campaign bullshit that would cover EVER aspect of the person being put in THAT position by the professional liars and thieves that run the rest of our elections? No thanks! As Lilith said, (god, how it hurts to keep saying that

) every wart on their ass should be scrutinized from the day they were born. Now if the congress that is going to bequeath these dictatorial powers, would be as sincere and representative of the people they are doing this ‘for’, instead of ‘party line’ oriented, we MAY have a chance of the constitution being related to the needs and wants of the population.
