Re: Brownback's Pain Bill


Camilla,
You have a point, but why couldn't Brownback have started a Senate Bill
which could have included those things he's now trying to replace the
S.2015.
Anyone who has read Brownback's press releases, and I have read everyone
of them 3 times, knows EXACTLY what he's planning to do.
Which is why I told Murray if he ever went to Kansas not to let them talk
him into going snipe hunting.
IMOHO, people always underestimate their enemies, and that is why they fail.
Brownback had one purpose, and he succeeded, which is why I shall always
call it the Holocaust Amendment!

just me,
Marjorie

Don't know about that, Ron-- but there's a big difference between
euthanasia and palliative care, as practiced in Hospices for example.
Actually, there really IS a need for doctors to learn how to relieve
needless end of life suffering, as those who saw the Bill Moyers' PBS
series,"On Our Own Terms" can recall.   But golly--at present I really
really hate to say anything "nice" about Senator B.  !!!!!
