free at last

dr jack kevorkian is free today. yesterday he was released from prison and today he can come and go as he pleases.

in a world without phony, imaginary creatures like the various gods dolefully worshipped by humans, noble behavior includes anything that pushes forward the envelope of human evolution. those who build up rather than tear down, those who challenge convention rather than choose the path of least resistence, those are the noblest persons among us.

the right to die is quite simply right. dr kevorkian has pushed our society closer to recognizing this truth and one day it will certainly be legal. another day this man will come to be seen in the appropriate light. he willl be seen as a hero. his courage will be lauded by future generations.

he is already my hero today and i rest easier knowing he is no longer being tortured by my society by incarceration in essentially inhumane conditions.
