One of my great fears of the misrepresentation of end-of-life planning and creating living will directives is that some Seniors may truly believe "death panels" are going to come and euthanize them if health care reform is passed. It's an outrageous lie, geared towards one of most vulnerable sectors of our society. This best example of this irresponsible behavior is propogated by FOX (the Fear, Obedience, and Xenophobia network).
I am all for freedom of speech. But we do put limits on it. We have removed certain drug ads because they exaggerated their claims. We restrict certain types of shows with violence, adult language or sex until after a certain hour, so children will not be exposed to it. You can't yell fire in a crowded theater and you don't mess around with Slim, da, do, da, do....
