I really think that most of the issues discussed in Washington these days are a smoke screen and as phoney as a three dollar bill. The people want. The government is broke. The politicians are a bunch of gutless wonders only interested in getting re-elected. At best demonstrations will get us a few platitudes from some Senator looking to make the 6 o'clock news. But that's all they deserve because their sole intention was to make the 6 o'clock news too. Euthanasia is a topic that has been discussed in this echo before and it really accomplishes nothing. Each individual has to make that decision for themselves. What would be more appropriate is to discuss the fears involved. Fear and distrust of our care providors is the real issue. -- Uucp: ..!{decvax,oliveb}!bunker!hcap!hnews!150!140!Joe.Chamberlain Internet: Joe.Chamberlain@f140.n150.z1.fidonet.org
