Moral Idiocy

What on earth is happening in the United States of America? It cannot be true that the US Congress has become involved in such a personal issue as what is happening in Florida. The House of Representatives is crazy. I can only hope that the member of the Senate will vote the issue down and bring some sensibility to what can only be described as an insane use of Federal power. Politicians have taken what is a personal tragedy and twisted it into a national drama that is perverse and disgusting. This is not the stuff which serves the national honour.

Can you imagine what the possibilities are for the future with a Federal government taking on case after case pursuing public support for emotional and emotive issues? The precedent is alarming. And it would seem that at the end of the day the courts can again intervene and decide that the legislation now being passed will untimately be thrown out as unconstitutional. Americans living at home have a lot to be concerned about here. Isn't it about time that the country should come to grips with the fact that it is NOT the worst thing in the world to die. And sometimes it really really is a blessing. In the meantime the personal tragedy will continue with no end in sight until the next victim for public humilation is found.

What can possibly be gained by keeping this poor girl in a vegetative state in that state. Life must go on and so must death come when it should. It would seem in this case that she is being forced to live instead of being allowed to die. This is a sad and tragic story. There is no happy ending, but there could be a peaceful and dignified death.

The government is now a threat to its people. The country is bordering on a nervous breakdown and could collapse under the strain of wisdomless leadership and lack of moral judgment. What should be a government of the people, by the people and for the people is becoming a government of extremest buffoons intent on implementing their narrow vision to the detriment of freedom, liberty, and moral character.
