Apparently, it involves being given a paralytic and then spending 20 minutes to 24 hours drowning - without being able to move! - before you actually die. And THIS is what our government is doing for us. Well, not really "for us" so much as "to us". Why? Very simple: it saves them money. PERIOD. They frame it MAID in terms of compassion and empathy but it's all about the dollars. -- Rhino
