A Neat, Clean Culture of Death

"In short, we care more about aesthetics than about consistency. And we do it for every form of death we administer from the prison to the Schiavo hospice to the abortuary, because we have this hope that by privatizing and sanitizing our violence, it will make us feel better about committing it. None of that is to say that capital punishment is equal to euthanasia. It is to say that it shows a deeply divided conscience about our culture of death.So do I want to see a return to the town square running with blood? On the contrary, I agree with Pope John Paul II that the death penalty should only be enacted when absolutely necessary. And I think that, at some level, so does most of our conscience-haunted culture. There is no other word to describe our strange insistence on hiding the violence we do than "shame."

If you don't like big words, than in other words this is saying that our culture kills and murders just as much everyone has before. Now it all has to be in closed areas in nice neat sanitized hopitals by medical professionals (whose jobs by the way are to save lives). Why are people so afraid to see someone die? Shame. America wants to kill, but doesn't want to admit that it's actually killing. Why else does all this stuff become popular like 'it's my right to choose' (slave owners thought it was their right to own property), and 'it's a fetus'(rather than calling it a baby, which it is.), i can't quite remember the term that was used for Terry Shiavo, but it was something like "don't hold her here against her own will and make her suffer, just let her move on." (sounds a lot like kill her to me.) America (or should I say the modern day Rome) it's very corrupt. Will it fall? Last time I remembered those who fail to remember history are condemened to repeat. Become a corrupt murderous nation that lusts rather than loves and it will end. It prospered quite well at its start. That's when it was one nation under God. Now you can't be Christian in public. It's about time Catholics stopped falling into this trap and stand up for what's right. Don't be afraid you'll offend someone. It's either offend that person or offend God. Hmmmm.... terriblely sadly it is often a tough choice. Possibly the biggest reason why so many people join this secular culture isn't so much becaue of the secular culture, but because of Catholics, who knowingly keep quiet and hide. Is it right to blame Mcdonald's because you're fat or is the real blame on yourself for doing eating the food? Let nobody ever say "i doubt it'll do any good to do something about it, they won't listen". When you don't say anything you know you'll fail. When you try you might fail. Trying something whether or not it seems like it will work, is the only thing that might work. Everything else is a 100% chance of failure. Let's do something!
