Absolute Power Corrupts Absolutely
The fact is ALL humans require food/nutrition and liquid/hydration as a basic necessity to live and sustain life. Without such the end result IS death so when nutrition/hydration is intentionally removed/withheld it constitutes premeditated forced death as the outcome. Unfortunately in today's society there are those who do just that, removing nutrition/hydration from others knowing full well that the outcome WILL result in death. When someone wields the ultimate power of life and death of another person in their hands they in essence become judge, jury and executioner of that person. This is tantamount to premeditated murder in the eyes of many people, yet this barbaric practice has been sanctioned by courts and lawmakers with NO checks and balances. Hearsay is all that is required to end a persons life by dehydration/starvation in some states. So herein lays the raw issue, if the guardian (holder of life and death) decides at his/her disgression that the ward (can you believe the legal name is ward? Making the person sound as if they are a convicted criminal and dehumanizes the person to an object rather that a human) would not/no longer want to live they can deny the "ward" anything and everything including the basic elements of nutrition and hydration that is an absolute necessity in sustaining life and do so by hearsay. However hearsay is just that, hearsay, and most hearsay is inadmissible in a court of law but not when it comes to a guardian. So the guardian can do WHATEVER they want to do to the ward at any given time with NO accountability of his/her actions even if the guardian has a conflict of interest with the ward because of the catch word 'hearsay". Hearsay for the most part has been disallowed in courts for the simple reason it puts words in other people mouths that may never had been said by them and hearsay can be contrived, made-up, fabricated or invented out of thin air. Hearsay is often slanted for the benefit of the one stating or alleging such hearsay was said. It is proven FACT that when the guardian is the spouse of the ward the guardian can warehouse the ward while he/she has started a new life with another person. That new life can include a new mate while the guardian already has a spouse and furthermore the guardian can have children with the new mate with NO accountability to anyone even though that action constitutes adultery on the guardians part and adultery is illegal but the guardian is held unaccountable. This is a huge conflict of interest! The guardian is allowed to break the law while holding the power of life and death over their spouse, the guardian is allowed to make life and death decisions while at the same time he/she may have themselves broke the law. Until the laws are changed to reflect justice for the wards the guardians will hold the power of life and death over their wards with no accountability for their actions. No accountability for they themselves breaking the law and NO accountability for the premeditated forced death of the ward. "Unlimited power is apt to corrupt the minds of those who possess it" William Pitt "Power tends to corrupt, and absolute power corrupts absolutely." Lord Action “And remember, where you have a concentration of power in a few hands, all too frequently men with the mentality of gangsters get control. History has proven that. All power corrupts; absolute power corrupts absolutely.” John Emerich Edward Dalberg Action “There is no worse heresy than that the office sanctifies the holder of it” John Emerich Edward Dalberg Action |
