Bush flies home to atone & save a life!

category international | sci-tech | other press author Monday March 21, 2005 11:16author by - Report this post to the editors

news from Gilead

As governer of Texas George Bush, (the current supreme wookie of the fundamentalist churches in schism with those of Europe, Kiev, Ethiopia and the Lebanon)
executed more prisoners than any other
man entrusted with the death sentance in US history.

The news that he has flown home to rush legislation through Congress to stop the withdrawl of medical assistance to a woman in a persistent vegetative state, could be understood to mean

HE IS LOOKING FOR FORGIVENESS.

or maybe not...

The dilema is one caused by the advance of technology in the XX century. In the time of the prophets, and thereafter the Christ, not a single pharasee got to ask the humdinger of a question- "Rabbi, is it right to switch off a life support machine?".
or
"Rabbi, is it right to put someone on a life support machine?"

No instead we had Lazarus, Martha sister of one of the Marys and stuff like that and lots of parables and miracles.

But George Bush, in his role as "the Angel of the Lord of the crusading shopping malls of Gideon" feels strongly about Life and Death.

To understand the mix of politics, ethics in the USA
I recommend reading the excellent "Christian Science monitor" the daily newspaper of a north american evangelical group (not in theological communion with Constantine Europe) who also
have very serious view on "refusing" medical practise. They point out the development of the "Life agenda" and parallel it with the constant attacks on "activist" judges and the judiciary which is one of the Bush regime's principle battle grounds in domestic homeland politics.

I still recommend you read the book by Canadian Margeret Attwood "The Handmaid's Tale";
(her poetry is good too see - "Procedures for Underground")
or at least read the synopsis studynotes-
