This advocacy, I believe, does not really promote liberty and freedom, but rather, endangers lives--of the elderly, people with disabilities and mental illnesses, and those with terminal or chronic diseases--by confirming their worst fears about their futures and their human worth.Contrary messages are sometimes made, as I strive to report here at SHS and elsewhere, but do not seem to penetrate as deeply as the "death with dignity" meme, perhaps because they require a deeper empathy and lack the power of repetition. Along this line, I think it is important to acknowledge the death of Christopher Nolan, a man profoundl...

The ER physician strongly suspected a torn ligament in the knee, the "ACL." The owner of the property where I fell has a State Farm Insurance policy that covers such accidents, for $50,000 or one year of medical care. But there's a catch, where I live, on the central coast of California, the medical facilities have told me I need to pay up front for care, and turn the bills over to State Farm, and then pay the balance that State Farm does not pay. In my area the medical personnel I have checked with have estimated the acl repair to cost $30,000. Who has $30,000 available to pay up front for care, and then wait for reimbursement from State Farm?Currently I'm...

(Initsa ang bola.  Tumalbog pabalik sa kanya.) GMA:  O, practice lang ‘yun!  Ulit!  Ulit! I’m neither pro-Arroyo or anti-Arroyo, but this little joke about the President sure made ma laugh almost all night last night and everytime I read it in my phone’s inbox. However, I kept wondering who she maybe trying to hit with the ball? Who would you want it to be?  :-)  Come on, don’t be shy… (Source: Prudence and Madness) Prudence and Madness blogs http://www.medworm.com/rss/comments.php?id=1018428 Fri, 09 Nov 2007 13:42:01 +0100 1018428 http://www.medworm.com/index.php?rid=977400&cid=t_250051_85_f&fid=36194&url=http%3A%2F%2Ftesstermulo.com%2F2007%2F10%2F25%2Fthe-estrada-pardon-a-mockery-of-the-philippine-justice-system%2F Since Estrada’s conviction as guilty for the charge of plunder, there have been speculations that he will be asking for executive clemency from Arroyo. Set aside all other excuses that the Estrada camp has given, it’s all apparent that the Estrada and his cohorts are doing all that they can possibly do with money and connections just to keep him out of jail (and I mean, a real jail, a prison cell behind prison bars, not some comfortable two-storey summer mansion). And after a short while of denying that he’s asking for a pardon (even vehemently saying he refuses to think of asking for it), finally his lawyers have pleaded for the clemency from the President, despite the flowery language that Estrada do not actually acknowledge the legitimacy of Arroyo’s presidency b...
