Assisted Suicide... Funny Timing!

Washington has legalized assisted suicide. Of course, it might be in much higher demand after last night's results... *wink*

Seriously, though, it actually does fit with the socialist healthcare model. Older, ill people are no longer "contributing enough to society," and healthcare must be rationed, after all, in that model. Check out some of the eugenicists pre-WWII... (and, coincidentally, also during and after a troubled economic period...)

It's a real issue, and it's both dangerous and evil.

Cruel and Unusual

Those are words I'd absolutely apply to child rape.

Unfortunately, those are words that the Supreme Court recently found applied to a quick Louisiana execution for child rapists, instead.

Wow. For all the liberal "for the children!" battle cries, I must point out that the conservative justices were the ones defending the children this time.

Congratulations, liberals, for deciding that torturing a child isn't really all that bad - at least compared to a quick death after being convicted, and that, likely after multiple appeals. (After all, isn't that why so many people claim the death penalty isn't economical, compared to life in prison?)

They claim that death is disproportionate to child rape... and I agree, but I'm pretty sure we disagree on which end is heavier.

They're heartless.

What a sad day for the country.
