Bush to kill successful suicide prevention line (calls put in data base)

http://americablog.blogspot.com/2006/07/bush-to-kill-successful-suicide.html


And why? Because he wants to recreate it WITHIN the federal government so they can get the list of names of every American who calls. How's that for creepy? And guess what that will do? It will stop people, especially kids, from calling the suicide prevention line, so many of them will kill themselves.

1. Can volunteers use cell phones to be available to callers? Can something
be worked out that keeps prevention line going without the gov't being able to eavesdrop?

3. who wants to bet they'll use it to solicit donations to the GOP?
"Have you made out a will? Do want to leave a donation to the Jeb Bush in '08 campaign?"

2. Study back before I surfed the web showed depressed people
generally tended to be more grounded in reality. The neocons sure as hell don't want those kinds of people loose in the population. How better to rid the nation of them than to make them suffer without help until they have finally had enough?

Also, a data bank of people with emotional problems gives them plenty of scape goats to frame for any little MIHOPs they may need to pull in the future.

What was the name of that Warren Beatty movie where he was snooping around investigating political criminals and got set up to take the fall for an assisination?

Culture of life my hiney! :grr:
