A culture of living

The tragic Terri Schiavo story is raising and stoking cultural divise issues. Those who support re-inserting the feding tube stake their claim by adopting the "Culture of Life". This is the same slogan espoused by those who wish to eliminate abortion, beginning of life issues. Now they wish to control "end of life" issues. End of life is death but discussing "death" issues would be awful. I wish there were no abortions. Abortions represent a personal failure and a failure by our society to assist young mothers. These lives should be preserved through adoption. They sya "Choose Life". So, I guess I must chose death.

Well, I believe in the culture of living. That is the time between beginning of life and end of life. That is the part, collectively and as individuals have control. My culture of living involves having clean air and water and not allowing industries to pollute the air and water. The culture of living involves providing decent health care and not worrying aboutlosing your health care after your last pycheck. The culture of living means good education, so those who live will have good jobs, not only for only oursevles but for the generation coming behind us.

So, I can only the Republican Party is willing to embrace my culture of living as much as they embrace "culture of life". The best thiing is they are not mutually exclusive. Also, we on the left, need a slogan, too.
