SINCE EVERYONE IS STARVED FOR NEWS, SOURCES, AND RESOURCES...

Every day we are inundated with a veritable tsunami of news items, plus we blog and surf other blogs, so there is no dearth of information. Now and then we need to look around and see something besides that mess in the White House.

Recently I posted about Social Justice Coalition, a Liberal Answer to the Christian Coalition. Kris writes very short but good posts. On Jan. 25 he wrote that he was making Tee Shirts with the Social Justice Coalition legend on them. He will sell them at cost, $10 plus shipping. If you'd like one, order background color (lettering is white) and size. On Jan. 26 he wrote about Yahoo using a web beacon to track users and webs accessed. He asks, "Is it possible for search engines to exist without selling out to the establishment?" [some already have]On Jan.27 he posted urls for anti-war dissenters, if anyone cares to check them out.

This is a touchy subject, but many issues we broach are touchy. Do any of our friends and fellow bloggers support the assisted-right-to-die practise? I do, under very SPECIFIC, SPECIAL circumstances, and under those circumstances I support the RIGHT of the person to have self determination, to exercise his or her RIGHT TO CHOOSE. And please note that I said "specific, special circumstances". If women have the right to choose, to have control over their own bodies, so do the dying. If you support the dying having the right to choose how they meet their final days, access "Choosing Hope", http://walkerw.blogspot.com/2006/01/death-with-dignity-relief-concern.html

The Watchblog, www.watchblog.com , is an unusual blog, a multi-editor enterprise with 3 columns - Republican, Democrat, and Third Party. You get various viewpoints on issues. Interesting.

Next time - round up the usual suspects.

    I'll get back to the links and your question later. Briefly, yes I do and I support the Oregon law as well.

    I voted against the California proposition a few years ago because I thought it hadn't been worded at carefully as it could have been. Oregon's seems to be a model.

    I'll write something later if I get my thoughts a little more together.
