FROM BIRTH TO DEATH By Del 'Abe' Jones

The Government thinks it knows best Wants to tell us how to live our life They even want to make decisions That should be between a Man and Wife. Their morals and beliefs they think The rules they feel we must live by They want it to start before we're Born And even take control of how we Die. If they don't think it's right for them Then it must be wrong for everyone Some must think they are a God And that their Will, shall be done. Well, I've got a news flash for them The "common" people have sense, too And we don't always need some bureaucrat To tell us what we need to think or do. When they think they are above the Law And can force the People to bow down Before their so-called ivory towers Then their walls will tumble to the ground. To believe in something is just great And it may work for them just fine But when they shove it down our throats That's when they have crossed the line. And some of them should really practice And be True to Morals that they Preach Maybe Learn some real Integrity Before they start to feel it's theirs to Teach. It's supposed to be, "We, the People" At least, that's how it was meant to be But if we keep letting them take our Rights It sure won't be, "The Land Of The Free".

We should all be worried about this mess and it should at the least, make everybody realize they should have their wishes on record so their loved ones don't have to go through the same thing and also to keep the busy-body politicians out of our business. Not so much the right or wrong or truths or untruths in the story. It's that we are supposed to have a rule of law and the law keeps speaking and the politicians keep trying to bring THEIR will to bear. Seventeen or so Judges and six Courts with all the facts which none of us know have already given their rulings. I think that is very dangerous when the politicals feel they can make their own rules and laws as they go. Too, I have thought, what if Terri really (though I don't suggest it so) can hear and understand and is actually trying to say that her Husband speaks the truth and she hasn't wanted to exist in that state for all these years. How much more horrible that would be for her. I do know that I would never want to "live" like that and have my living will stating so. People of any age who put it off are possibly placing their loved ones in the same circumstances as what is going on with Terri and her family. The Fed needs to stay out of OUR business, in any case. www.terrisfight.net
