Dawn of the Socially Dead
Vox Day, commenting on the absurdity of the new standards being devised for living in dying in the USA:
If the new bioethic standard for an intolerable life is "socially dead", then we're soon going to see mass emigration on the part of engineers and programmers that will rival the Irish fleeing the potato famines.
Not to mention guys allegedly writing anonymous and withering social commentary in the boxer shorts/pajamas.
The day "socially dead" becomes the recognized term for the conditions allowing euthanasia will be a dark one in this country. If for no other reason, its use as a vindictive punchline for hundreds of Maureen Dowd aping media pundits throughout the land.
I hope that day can be avoided entirely, but just in case, fellow bloggers, get those living wills ready now. Or, better yet, read these tips on flirting from Kathy of the Cake Eater Chronicles (yet another fine MOB member), and kiss those funeral blues away forever.
