The problem is that representative democracy in Western countries allows politicians to acquire an authority that goes beyond the power of the people. A questionable agenda can therefore be endorsed in parliamentary legislation. Euthanasia is one of them.The opinions of professionals, doctors of medicine and academics can sway the government because they have a power assumed to be in the bes interest of the people. When a politician with the gift of the gab obtains leadership in a democratic representative country, he or she can act like a dictator.

Those values, plus many more have been guide and inspiration for my life here on earth. As a classroom teacher for 33 years, unfortunately, I have also witnessed the disintegration of the American family, the dumbing down in education, plus both religion and politi
