Blogging seems to be all the rage, so what the heck? I'll follow the lemmings over the cliff too! It probably won't get me elected President, but maybe some interesting discussions will come out of it... Beware, however: I speak my mind here, and I'm pretty frank and open. Some may be offended at the content and/or opinions. If you're easily offended, you might want to look elsewhere for reading material.

When/If you post a comment (and I hope you will!), be sure to put in a URL --- even if you just use mine (http://alan.batie.org/) --- if you don't, your email address will get put in as a link on your name, and you'll suddenly find yourself on Spam Central. Not my doing, I promise you! They scan websites for embedded email addresses. You've been warned --- I really don't wish spam on anyone (well, ok, maybe the spammers themselves)!

Finally, if you want to be notified when I post the this blog, signup on the lemmings mailing list.

Right to Die

Newsweek has an article about a family fighting over whether a woman should be allowed to die or not. It's a shame the case has gotten muddled with money at stake, because it's clear that keeping her alive is nothing more than torture for everyone involved. While precautions need to be in place to prevent abuse, if I'm ever in an incapacitated state with little hope of recovery, I don't just want the feeding tube removed, I want to be "put to sleep". It's a waste of time and money to do anything else, and helps no one, least of all me. Posted by abatie at October 26, 2003 10:33 AM
