Sophistry is not wisdom

The contortions defenders of this health care abomination go through to explain away the "euthanasia" clause- man, it's like watching someone diagram a sentence from Proust. When they're done, they look at you smugly, like they've vanquished all concerns.

Uh, no.

No one's explained why the clause is in there in the first place. And why is it in such abstruse, legalese language requiring such detailed deconstruction? Maybe, 'cause, later on, say when everyone's been hijacked into the system, lawyers can suddenly find a euthanasia requirement, a legal alternative to extending someone's life past what the actuarial tables say they should go?

Maybe.
