- Darren, sorry, I couldn't find your e-mail address in my notebook. Anyway,
- yes, to me it did sound (read?) like you were saying Mr. K was not responsible
- for various suicides. I guess you simply mean he didn't commit murder. Sorry
- if what I wrote earlier was a flame (I am assuming you think that what I wrote
- was a flame - but I know you didn't mention my name specifically in the flame
- bit), it wasn't intended to be a flame - at least in my probably uninformed
- idea of what a flame is. At any rate, what I wrote to you in response earlier
- shouldn't be read as showing ill-will towards you as a person. If you detected
- any anger, please attribute it to an anger at those who would rather help other
- folks kill themselves more efficiently. I do believe though that Mr. K pro-
- bably doesn't know what he is doing... ultimately. I would much rather see
- someone give their lives to let others live (in service) than watch those who
- would rather live to encourage and aid others to throw away the gift of bio-
- logical life they have been given. Rather than argue (or discuss in a friendly
- way) whether Mr. K is legally at fault in the deaths of others, and if so, in
- what way, I think it would be better to talk about how we can minister to
- those who are in the situation where at times they might feel it is better to
- take their own lives than to suffer. And how can we take the Good News to
- folks like Mr. K?
-
- Well, Darren (and anyone else who has bothered to read this) I hope you have
- a happy chanakah and a Merry Christmas. All praise to the Word enfleshed! (and
- the Father and Spirit), Peace, zane.
