I'm not going to read through this whole thread to find if these points ahave already been made, but
1) Why are we wasting time with this? It's a somkescreen, folks. it has been adequately, and extenisvely handled by state courts and has no business in national discourse, particularly not when Bin Laden is still putting out tapes willy nilly, Iraq is still teetering on the edge of quagmire, North Korea is still building nukes, The Iranian Government is trying to build nukes while the Iranian public is probably the most Pro American public in the middle east, gas is over $2 a gallon, our harebrained leader has a harebrained scheme to gut social security in the guise of saving it, and the deficit is spiralling out of control. And you want to discuss whether a woman who is dead to herself has the right to die? It's the only right anyone ever really has.
2) Judaeism was a wonderfully adaptive strategy to living in the southern Levant 5000 years ago, and Christianity was a wonderfully adaptive strategy for protesting Jewish social hegemony in the central Levant 2000 years ago. Not so much now. Stop trying to impose religious values whose time has passed long since on modern society with modern technology. Seriously. If it helps you live in your own head to believe in that dreck, then that's your business. Please don't make it mine.
3) Only one thing goes down my feeding tube: Bourbon til I die.
