Letter From The Editor
The Valley of the Shadow of Death
Susan Callaway, Editor

Some folks responded to my last article, "For Her Safety" by asking me to write in more detail about the abominable tragedy told of in that short story. The topic is massive, and I can't do it all justice in the scope of an article like this, but I hope to be able to give you some things to think about, things to do and put in place, and at least a few links to more complete information. Some people may object to this article because it requires working within the "laws" and dealing with the bureaucracy, but but those things are impossible to ignore if you want to navigate the overwhelming forces set against you in the political reality of today.

Dying with dignity, in the setting of your choice, is possible.

Consent of the governed, have you given yours?

That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed."

This "Declaration of Independence" was the 13 Colonies justification to the world as to why they were no longer under the lawful authority of England. That being the case, and the statement that "Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, how then is that consent obtained from each individual in this country today? Have you given your consent?
