So, now you don't support the end of life panels??? Sounds like all you
really care about is squashing the competition and forcing your party
views on everybody.. So, are you like Harry and Al Gore, just think you
are smarter so we should all just shut up and pay up???

No, actually, I think end of life counseling is a good idea, voluntary of
course. Living wills are prudent, and put the decisions in the hands of
the individual, where they belong, not in the hands of grieving loved
ones, who under the emotional stress of the moment, have enough on their
plate.

Right now my dad is in the hospital with terminal cancer. We have a
living will made long ago and very specific orders from him on how it's
gonna' go. He is not a candidate for any kind of treatment now except
comfort so I am pretty familiar with planning. We did it with my dad,
two of his best friends, his doctor and his lawyer...

At this time I am completely in charge of his future as he has indicated
to the doctors that this is the way he wants it...

So my point is, I am living this right now and I don't want government
pencil pushers involved, not even a little bit...
