.... A Radical View.

.... made military raids on BPP offices or homes in Philadelphia, Chicago, Newark, Omaha, Denver, New Haven, San Diego, Los Angeles, and other cities, murdering some Panthers and arresting others. After I and most other Panther 21 members were held in jail and on trial for two years, We were all acquitted of all charges and released. Most of us returned to the community and to the BPP but by then COINTELPRO had taken its toll. The BPP was rife with dissension, both internal and external. The internal strife, division, intrigue, and paranoia had become so ingrained that eventually most members drifted or were driven, away. Some continued the struggle on other front .....

.... standing after World War II.1 This split generated a bipolar effect bringing the entire world into a game of tug of war between the two superpowers. Throughout the four decades actual combative war never broke out but in turn a similar game of chess was played. One country would move and the other would countermove. It was finally America that came out on top and the Soviet Union a collapsed failure, but not necessarily because the US was stronger and out muscled the Soviets militarily. The end of the Cold War was primarily due to economic factors. What America proved was that the economy works best when the government stays out and individuals within t .....

A great number of those people may never be faced with the decision, but knowing the option would be there is a comfort (Jaret 46). For those who will encounter the situation of loved ones on medication, being treated by physicians, sometimes relying on technical means to stay alive arises a great moral conflict.
