Subject:      Kevorkian Strikes Again

    Think about God who gave His Son that we might live, and people who
give their "service" that others might die. 2 more people won't see
Christmas this year.

    Rush on Dr. Death, Jack the Dripper, Kevorkian --------------------->

    Now, One thing that I do have time to talk to you about, and that is
that Dr. Death, Jack the Dripper, has struck again. Another 2. Have you
noticed, by the way, that every person that he has helped die, but wait,
every person that he has killed. Let's make no mistake about this, he's
killing people. These are not terminally ill people. These are not people
who are in comas. These are not people who are unconscience and unaware.
These are not people who don't know what they are doing. These are people
who if they wanted to die could do it themselves.

    But he is a man who thinks that we need to use the dying process.
They have passed a law against physician assisted suicide in Michigan
where he lives. It goes into effect in April. So he's out there trying to
kill as many people as he can before the law goes into effect. And then
he says he's going to continue to do it after that. Now here's what he
said, after killing his most recent two women:

    "She had deteriorated rapidly. And now, this law they want to force
her to go on to the end. Deteriorating all the way, and gasping for
breath, unable to swallow, can't speak. WHY, does a so called enlightened
society force that on us?"

    Rush: Why does a so called enlightened society not get outraged at
what you're doing, sir? Here, nobody in America is forcing her to live.
Where did you get that idea? Nobody is FORCING her to live. But so what
if they were?

    What's wrong with LIFE? That's, folks, that's the most precious thing
we have. It is something about which, we're never going to be able to
create it, in the sense that from scratch we can have what ever we want
to grant somebody life. It's a gift of God, or whatever you believe
inspired and gave us what we have here.

    And for him to sit there say, "What kind of society are we, that
forces people to gasp and breath?" We are not forcing her to do that.
You, sir, are simply convincing her that she would be better off dead.
She wouldn't do it, unless you were there to help her, unless you were
there to kill her.

    This guy needs to be put behind bars. I mean this is just absolutely,
it's when you talk about values in our society, and we're not outraged
that this guy wants to run around and kill people. It just is more than I
think we should stomach, and an indication of how cockeyed and out of
phase we are in many ways.

    MAKS> This was kind of an eye opener. Yes I knew he was doing these
things, but you have a tendency to just push it aside.

    Maks.

    He who justifies the wicked, and he who condemns the righteous,
    Both of them alike are an abomination to the Lord. Prov. 17:15.

                   "Just say "NO!" to Jack Kevorkian."
