Dr. Jack Kevorkian, you will be missed!

Full Story:

The world has lost a committed freedom fighter today.  Someone who willingly sacrificed his own freedom in an attempt to protect our right to die on our own terms.

Jack Kevorkian, you will always have my respect.

Attack of the Minnows

A great poem from The Digital Cuttlefish:

Attack Of The Minnows

The big fish in their tiny pool

Where all the world is just one school

Can taunt and tease the godless fool

And bow their heads and pray

But video technology

Means, now the outside world can see

The worst of Christianity

In prominent display

Replacing prayer with silent thought?

Not good enough! And so, they fought!

They never figured to be caught—

And also, it was fun!

So, proving that they have no shame

The cowards held the kid to blame

And broke the law; it’s just the same

As Jesus would have done

Remembering Terri

Today I am remembering Terri Schiavo, who was finally allowed to die on 3/31/05 after being the center of a fight about the power of the government to interfere with a husband making end of life decisions for his wife.

Today we must remember to not allow our government to become so intrusive that they begin violating our privacy and interfering with personal, family decisions.

Animal Rights

The people in the animal rights crowd know very little about animals or rights.  The idea that animals have "rights" is absolutely ridiculous.  Just talking to one for about 5 minutes reveals how little they really know about what they're talking about.
