I don't remember whether it was you or club who turned in your R party card, but whichever of you did is now eligible to spank me, though.

Club - she is all yours - I am, fortunately or unfortunately, still a card carrying member of the GOP.

I've always admired how you can score points in your own mind, facts be damned, sort of like the ability to will yourself into an orgasm.

This may, in fact, be key to my view of the matter. Sushi doesn't have interests. Any "dignity" or "wishes" kinds of interests all reside in the survivors who hold those interests dear, or not.

Then why on earth does it matter whether she signed a paper, as I thought you were suggesting a day or two ago?

If it ends up giving the survivors direction, and makes conflict less likely amongst them, it's wonderful.

For the survivors. It's all about them.

If you don't appreciate my use of callback humor, try Ty's more articulate answer to your question.

If you truly believe that this was a bipartisan Congressional effort -- beyond the literal counting of Democratic votes for it -- then obviously (a) you've been watching Democratic congressmen wax on the Senate and House floor at length over Terri, where I have not, and (b) your interpretetation the GOP "talking points" to be an encouragement of a bipartisan solution, instead of sticking it to the Democrats for the mid-terms, and energizing one's base, is one that I've missed.

So her wishes only matter if the survivors prefer to be bound by her wishes instead of what they want? It makes sense in a LSAT-logic-problem sort of way, but only in that way.

So the estate tax should be OK, because it doesn't matter what the decedent wanted.

They hate Hillary because she tried to take on substantive tasks without being elected to office or approved by the Senate. She was an obnoxious usurper with an attitude that just happended to be a woman. The strong part had nothing to do with it.
