"The Onus Is On You Death with Dignity' Bill in Massachusetts

The wizards up at the Massachusetts State Legislature resurrected a "Death with Dignity" bill today.



The bill is being lobbied by a 61 year old Stoughton man who is undergoing treatment for stomach cancer.

But Lipkind, 61 of Stoughton, is a fighter. He knows he can’t defeat his cancer, but he’s determined to die on his own terms, and not at the hands of his disease.

He’s pushing legislation to allow doctors to legally write prescriptions for people who choose to end their lives by self-medicating. Only mentally competent people suffering from a terminal illness would be eligible under the proposed law.


I don't mean to be insensitive to his suffering and his situation but the truth of the matter is, if he wants to kill himself, nothing is stopping him but his own conscience.

Thou shalt not kill has a way of stopping you from carrying out such acts.

Setting aside mortal sins and offenses against God, the ethical problem with these kinds of bills is, it  forces other people  in society to carry out the murders.

“It’s a very personal decision (to end one’s life), and I don’t think I could make such a decision,” he said, “but people should have the wherewithal to die as they would prefer to die.”


At least Lipkind has the decency to be honest about it.   When it comes to taking a handful of pills, he couldn't do it but he'd like to give sick people the right to signal others to do it from their sick beds. 

It's "The Onus Is On You Death With Dignity Bill. 

Are the people who come up with these ideas the same people who say they don't want to force their ideas and convictions upon society?

Local Hero Ray Neary

Ex-Teacher Gives Sex-Ed Failing Grade


Sex education has devolved into a “how-to” course on hooking up, says one retired teacher who is demanding that the Legislature toss out the current sex ed law, make the classes elective, and tell parents what is being taught.

Raymond Neary, a former member of the Massachusetts Teachers Association board of directors, has enlisted Republican representatives to his cause.

“There’s got to be a filter somehow. This issue is so tied to moral, ethical and religious values of parents,” Neary said. “It’s a very different area from teaching the Civil War, for example, or mathematics.”


Let parents teach their own values to their own children.

Teachers shouldn't have the rights to usurp our moral compass in a free country.

Hijacking young girls and teaching them human sexuality and emotional intimacy comes cheap is wreaking havoc upon aspirations to find a loyal husband and father to their children. A vast majority of men can't be bothered with the kind of work it takes to form healthy and lasting relationships, they've been brainwashed that happiness in life is about finding a piece of ass. The schools are full of children acting out in one way or another the ultimate aggressions of living this way.

Ray Neary has been plugging away at this battle for decades at great personal sacrifice and cost. I've been proud to work with Ray and beside Ray on occassions when our paths crossed.

We're so grateful here in Massachusetts for his labor.

May God inspire and strengthen Ray for many years to come.
