Mike at Cold Fury's been harshing my mellow since at least some time in 2002 and maybe earlier, I'm not sure when I found his blog. If you're not reading him you should be. He doesn't post all that much, but when he gets off a good one, he really gets off a good ope.

In this post he links to an American Thinker article that points out something that should be hit hard, hit often and shouted from the rooftops, considering the current health care "debate". I am a little upset I didn't think about it.

Ted Kennedy is 76 and has brain cancer, life expectancy is around 78.
Quote from the American Thinker article
Is Senator Kennedy's life valuable enough to dedicate millions of dollars to extending it another month, another day, another year?

We've been told that there must be some realistic valuation. Remember the article from last week about how if you only have 6 months to live the gov't should let you die instead of spending money to keep you alive for only a short time?

Let's introduce this into the health care "debate" and demand that, since Teddy is all in favor of the gov't being in charge and therefore de facto in favor of rationing, he should set an example for all of us and just die.

That way he wouldn't be "wasting" valuable health care resources that could be used for a woman who's buying food for her kids instead of health care.
