All The Livelong Day

Today, at The American Spectator, in the aftermath of the Terri Schiavo tragedy, I issue an appeal to stem the tide of "right-to-die" laws.

In support of my appeal, I enlist the wisdom of King Solomon. Please enjoy.

The book of Proverbs is a book of wisdom; it stands on its own without a religious backing, as I make clear in the article.

People quote Confucius' ideas all the time as wisdom, despite the fact that he was founding and leading a religion.

Ideas presented as wisdom need to be engaged as wisdom. If you are open-minded, an idea should be no less worthy of engagement just because it was preserved within the Scriptural canon.
