Right to Bear Arms
Also four words that can and will be used/abused both ways.
Position of Public Trust
Hey, another four words which can be abused!
Leave my Kids Alone
What do you know - yet another four that can be abused in horrific ways.
Just Leave Me Alone
Said to the government, it's pretty much your life's touchstone. Telling me there is no potential for abuse there?
Absolutely every last little thing can be abused and will be abused by some people. That does not mean these things, these ideas, should be removed.
Does it?
A wonderful catch of red herring, there. In the first, exercising that right harms no one. It is the use of the firearm which might, and that is a different, and well-regulated issue.
In the second, the public is played for suckers regularly. If we actually had positions where the public trust was all that was needed, those positions would not be subject to so many rules and regulations. It is an oxymoron.
The latter two imply that someone is, indeed, messing with someone or their children. There is a point where the assumed right to mess with someone or their children may kick in, but usually there are statures governing that point. Not to say those aren't abused--they are--anyone with a lick of sense and an understanding of the prevarications employees of official agencies are willing to employ, in at least some instances, to seize control of persons or their progeny is quite wary of the extraconstitutional powers granted to specific agencies for the purpose of "doing good", even though those ends are often destructive and employed in order to maintain relevance for the employee or agency.
If you want to end it all, I won't get between you and your bullet, even though I won't sanction such. What I seek to avoid is the situation where someone is medicated into a state of mind where they are vulnerable to the tender ministrations (and selfish ambitions) of those who would rather have them dead, for fun or profit.
It isn't easy to care for an ailing relative in their final days. It might be even harder for some to watch them approach their lifetime insurance payout maxima, see the estate dwindling like numbers spooling down on a counter as the bills add up, and realizing their earthly reward for caring for that person is disappearing fast or gone and the cost will come out of pocket.
Officially, it doesn't take much more before the 'Public cost' is talleyed up and someone becomes 'too expensive' to keep around.... Before the public is clamoring at the expense and before little kids dying of some cancer are paraded around as poster children for getting rid of Granny, because the budget won't handle both--a situation we've all been programmed for with the "lifeboat problem" of the "kidney machine problem" in school at some point.
Margie Sanger would be so proud. Maybe she gets cold cokes in Hell for her efforts.
Some day, your day will come. No one knows when or how, but the 'if' part is pretty well figured out. So it is for all of us.
You do realize that there are medications which have the common side effect of "Suicidal thoughts"? I was prescribed one (no longer on the market) for joint pain and in two days wanted to end it all. Now, I thought about that, and realized everything was going incredibly well in my life. It made no sense, until I realized it was the medication. I quit that, and in two days was back to normal. For someone who had not understood that they were dealing with a pharmacologically altered mental state, or for whom life simply sucked at the time, the outcome might have been quite different. Not to mention the legions of adolescents who are still developing coping skills who might decide 'it's too hard' and check out before they even have a chance to learn how to live.
And we haven't even really broached the topic of mandated termination, which will come, especially if health care costs are picked up by the public at large. That one time payment of one penny (per person) which would grant almost any level of care needed to get almost any person through will be touted as 'too much'.
Sorry, but I'm not for opening that door. I'm not for giving the Government another power it can abuse. If you want to end it, you'll find a way--I seriously doubt you will have to worry about being prosecuted if you are dead. I won't approve, sorry.
