People wanting change are asking for voluntary euthanasia, not compulsory.

It could be the same as organ donation. You sign up or you don’t.

As long as your family can’t overrule and they have independent doctors to have a check list, it should work well.

It should not effect the pseudo do-gooders sticking their nose into someone else’s business.

People who agree with euthanasia would have to sign up when they are of sound mind, just like when doing their will and they will know the consequences.

As long as it is voluntary, not compulsory, it should be fine.

WAY back in 1934, Joseph Unwin, an Oxford University social anthropologist, published a book Sex and Culture, after spending seven years studying the births and deaths of 86 different cultures and civilisations.

Unwin found that every known culture had followed the same sex pattern.

In the early stages, premarital and extramarital relationships were prohibited.

Later, as people began to demand more sexual freedom, social energy abated.

In the end, this led to the culture’s decay and destruction.

Dr James Dobson, founder of Focus on the Family wrote in an article – how does sexual behaviour affect a nation?

When a man is devoted to one woman and one family, he is motivated to build, save, protect, plan and prosper on their behalf.

However, when male and female sexual interest are dispersed and generalised, their efforts is invested in gratification of sensual desires.

Dr Joseph Unwin wrote: “Any human society is free to either display great energy or to enjoy sexual freedom. The evidence is that they cannot do both for more than one generation.”

Words of warning.

Are our leaders listening?

EACH and every year, seasonal merchandise appears in retail stores and it seems to be appearing earlier than normal.

The other week, a major retail store was keen to produce hot cross buns in late December.

We are just getting over Christmas – the next thing we know it’s Easter.

However, as consumers, we have rights.

By simply not buying the product until the time is right to buy, we can make a difference.

Australia is a free country. Let’s count ourselves lucky that we don’t have a Mussolini or a Hitler telling us how to live our lives.

THE problem of the import of the Turkish-made lever action shotgun is simple.

Manufacture a good quality 12-gauge shotgun at Lithgow. This would assure a local, quality product, made here by Australian workers. Spare parts would be available as needed.

The gun should come with two interchangeable barrels, one with a poly choke for shot cartridges as well as a rifled barrel for solid slugs.

I’ve owned and used pump action shotguns with five-shot magazine capacity and one with an eight-shot magazine. These were reliable, low maintenance guns.

We should also make a law that any firearm or edged weapon carried for unlawful use carries a life penalty – mandatory.
