I’ve been trying to catch up a bit and thought I’d point out a few things other bloggers have been writing about that would also be interesting to people who read this blog.
Wesley Smith has blasted a truly crappy editorial from the Charleston Gazette that manages to praise George Exoo and Jack Kevorkian, while exhibiting total confusion over “terminal,” “disabled” and “ill.” His points overlap with ones I would have made if this had been a different week than it’s been. No criticism here – Wesley zeroes in on things we either miss or don’t view as central and vice versa. It’s worth your time to go read this latest entry, what Wesley calls a “disgraceful editorial.”
Two blogs have been exploring the same related topic.
On October 11th, Miss CripChick wrote “A Letter to My Mom” on her site. Here’s the first paragraph:
dear mother,
please do not take this as sarcasm, but i just wanted to take a moment and let you know how much i appreciate the fact that you haven’t tried to murder me, drug me, take me off my ventilator, withhold food, lock me in the garage, abuse me, harvest my organs, or rip my utereus [girl parts] out over the years.
On October 22nd, Kay Olson at the Gimp Parade followed up with her thoughts and the previously posted thoughts from Amanda of Ballastexistenz in “Mail with Mom.” Go read it.
I am sure there are other bloggers out there who have written things I should be recommending. These are the ones I know of – the ones I found in the short time I had today while I finish getting ready to head out of town again.
So – check these out. And check us out again next week. New content will be going up frequently. –Stephen Drake
