The living will folks are trying to promote a white ribbon for advanced medical directives on the anniversary of the travesty. I guess it is closest they can come to waving a white flag.

I still hope the organizers of recognition on behalf of Terri go for the white rose. I suggested it to them.

Wear a White Ribbon in March to Raise Awareness of Advance Care Planning

Terri after the attack and before bioethicking.

8mm

Excerpt from THE NAZI DOCTORS: Medical Killing and the Psychology of Genocide by Robert J. Lifton:

Perhaps the most moving of all expressions of opposition in Nazi Germany involved three medical students and a few additional students from other faculties at the University of Munich, in the dramatic White Rose resistance group. Over several months during 1942 to 1943, the group issued bold leaflets denouncing the Nazi regime and its immoral behavior (“For Hitler and his followers there can be no punishment on this earth which will expiate their crimes”), and calling for the German people to overthrow the regime and restore their good name. The leaflets also declared: “We will not be silent. We are your bad conscience. The White Rose will give you no rest.” The students were eventually discovered and condemned by a Nazi “people’s court”; most were beheaded. Significantly, one of the group’s leading figures, Hans Scholl, had been inspired by a sermon of Bishop Clemens von Galen of Münster, condemning the “euthanasia” program, and is said to have responded, “At last somebody has had the courage to speak out.”⁵⁹

A white ribbon for what? surrender? It's like the sci-fi movies where you had to turn yourself in at a certain age (thirty?). Farrah Fawcett was in one of those movies and so was Charlton Heston. I can't recall FF's name of movie but Heston's was Soylent Green.

Thoughts and prayers to Dana Reeves' family. She stood by Christopher Reeves instead of lookin' for a Judge Greed to bump him off.

I couldn't think of a more excellent choice 8mm. Up until now they died for basically nothing. What a tribute that would be!
