    logo_compassionandchoicesSedona AZ (October 15, 2019) – How we die has for many been an object of curiosity, terror and analysis.  Poets, playwrights, authors, sociologists, medical personnel and theologians have reflected on life’s final chapter.  Gradually the public has become more conversant with and interested in talking about the final stage of life. Still, questions arise and include issues of morality, religion, legislation, medicine, family dynamics, pain management, hospice and palliative care.  The list is long and the questions difficult.

    Barbara Coombs Lee, President of Compassion and Choices, has written an important book full of candid, helpful advice for people navigating the final stage of their lives.  An RN, attorney, activist and administrator, Lee was crucial to the passage in Oregon of the first “right to die” legislation. Today Medical Aid in Dying (MAID) is possible in 9 states but not in Arizona.

    The Symbolism of Jan. 6

    By Tommy Acosta
    Don’t mess with symbols. Just ask author Dan Brown’s character Robert Landon. The worth of symbols cannot be measured. Symbols make the world-go-round. Symbols carry the weight of a thousand words and meanings. Symbols represent reality boiled down to the bone. Symbols evoke profound emotions and memories—at a very primal level of our being—often without our making rational or conscious connections. They fuel our imagination. Symbols enable us to access aspects of our existence that cannot be accessed in any other way. Symbols are used in all facets of human endeavor. One can only feel sorry for those who cannot comprehend the government’s response to the breech of the capital on January 6, with many, even pundits, claiming it was only a peaceful occupation. Regardless if one sees January 6 as a full-scale riot/insurrection or simply patriotic Americans demonstrating as is their right, the fact is the individuals involved went against a symbol, and this could not be allowed or go unpunished.
