Greetings All,

To me this is simply a case of abuse of legislative power. Our system of governance has been perverted by those that wish to impose their way upon others. There have been hours and hours of Judicial (our system's legislative adjudication process) time dedicated to this question. A decision has been made. For Congress to attempt to circumvent that process is not only an abuse of their power it is a blatant acquiescence to an interest group.

I do not know the facts of this case and I would suggest that very few really do. Our process has been followed. The fact that a minority interest is not pleased with the final decision should not be allowed as a cause to circumvent an established method of governance irrespective of which side of the question they represent.

I firmly believe that our "conventional" medical system is little more that a system of commerce so therefore it is difficult for me to believe that there is little other than financial motives on the part of the care providers. I am not referring to those individuals that care for this woman on a day to day basis personally. I am, however, referring to the institution and it's managers.

That said, I have given rather specific instructions to my bride, my children, and friends that if I were ever so ill that I required this type of treatment, temporarily or otherwise, they are to take me out to the woods, set me down beneath a Weeping Willow tree alongside a pond, kiss me one last time, and walk away.

To my way of thinking a greater power then we initiated my journey here and I have every confidence in submitting to this power's determination as to when my walk over.

Peace,
Ed
