Darkness Grows

So here we are America! The Congress has declared it's intent concerning Terri Schiavo, and the judiciary has essentially given Congress the finger. Many conservatives are insisting that Jeb send in the National Guard in response to this insolence, and on an emotional level I would like to see him take such an action; however, this would open pandora's box concerning the relative application of our laws and should not be done.

This being said, how long do you think it will take for some guardian of a group home bound vulnerable adult to petition the courts to "relieve suffering"? For that matter, how long until some start arguing that it is just too damn expensive to keep the infirm and vulnerable alive? After all we could feed the poor with that money! Sarcasm intended. I tell you that day is coming fast--and then we will look like 1930's Germany.
