Melony Louise's Natural Habitat

There are many things in which it astounds me that the opinion varies. Less because I think my opinion is just simply the only right one and more because Jesus, why is everyone so damn nosy? My example for the moment is assisted suicide.

Look, here's how I see it: people who are sick have a damn good sense of when their health has reached the point that constant medical treatment is just not only putting off the inevitable by a very small period of time, but doing so in a painful manner. These people should be able to go to their doctor and have their take confirmed, and then be able to get their families together and say goodbye with as little guilt as possible. But of course, between religion, denial, and just plain fear of death, not everyone will want to take that route. These differences in thought is what makes life so great. But it should be an individual's own decision, not something law-mandated, and definitely not something decided by people who don't understand being in that place.

Saying people who want assisted suicide are weak or that the concept is like government-approved genocide, saying that girls who get abortions as teenagers are murders and sleazes, saying homosexuals are scourge, all these statements are easy to make when you're in good health; when you're not that girl; when your sexual attractions are widely accepted as normal.

Which is why I think our laws should be changed to "do whatever you think's right, so long as you don't hurt other people." Life, liberty, property if you will.

My dad's favorite example works best here. If you want to fuck goats, do so. Don't make me watch, don't make me fuck your goat, don't fuck your goat on my front lawn. Only we apply this to EVERYTHING. Assisted suicide, abortion, marriage, drugs, sex, music, education, health systems; literally, everything.

Meh, it's a bit idealistic, and in truth it would probably just lead into a full on anarchy, but a girl can dream.
