ASSISTED SUICIDE - DR KERVORKIAN WAS RIGHT
The time to talk to your parents and your children about - your death - is now, when you are living and can make a decision on how you want to end your life - with care and dignity.
Sarah Palin, and Republican attempts to be disingenuous, misleading and wrong made this important discussion sound wrong - her 'death panels' comments lead people to believe that the government wanted to tell you how and when to die.
Wrong - making that decision is one of the most important you will ever make - for your self and family.
Talking about Death is not easy, but necessary - you need to plan for the disposition of your property / wealth and how you want to die - slowly losing control of your body, your mind - or with dignity with grace. You need a will and a medical power of attorney, so that the person you chose to make your last decision - knows when and how you want the decision to be made, not at the last minute with or without passion - but with reason and properly thought out.
Medical discoveries can make us live longer than ever before and new medicines can preserve our lives - but it is the quality of life, that matters - not just life itself.
When our quality of life is over - its over - don't let your family be divided - love for you and your decision, is what matters, don't let your family be torn apart, guilt ridden - because you failed to let your final decision be known.
Dr. Jack Kervorkian - was right - Michigan and our country need to face this issue - and to allow people to die with dignity and grace - at the time of their chosing.

FREE CUBA - CUBRE LIBRE - STOP BOYCOTT
OPEN CUBA - US BOYCOTT A FAILURE - FREE CUBA
For over 50 years - the USA has boycotted Cuba, with a misguided policy that a boycott would bring down Fidel Castro and his regime.
Well after 50 years, by any measure this policy has been a failure - Fidel and Raul Castro remain in power and the Cuban people suffer - frozen in time.
President Obama has taken small steps - but he must declare an unilateral end to the boycott of Cuba - and Open Cuba to all Americans who wish to travel and/or reunite with family and friends. No restrictions - let American bring their dollars and voices of freedom - let the Cuban people begin to feel the freedom - even if Fidel and Raoul benefit, in the short run.
A program on CNBC (Escape from Havana:An American Story)about 14,000 children secretly flown out of Cuba in the 1960's and their stories is a compelling story of survival and of the failure of US policy.
These children now seniors - some feel Cuba must be open and that American policy, that they once supported, is wrong - and the USA must open trade and travel to Cuba.
