What about the day after Thxgiving, say 4pm Eastern, 1pm Pacific? Most Americans are just lounging about watching sports. Any idiot can type and read a town hall while watching football. And that time of day wouldn't be too early for those sleeping in nor too late for those in Europe. Of course, anyone in Japan is just SOL any way you go about it.

So you think this is good if the weak-minded folks (like those who can't spell "manual labor" right) die off? Unfortunately illnesses are indifferent to spelling, intelligence, social value, and pretty much any other standard you might set.

If all that is left is wealthy air conditioned over-achievers, who will provide them with those homes, cars, air conditioners, and all the other creature comforts?

Plus you'll always have a problem determining those below average. Who decides what is 'average'? For every below-average person that dies, the average changes. For every advancement (in medicine, technology, psychology, education, etc) 'average' changes.

There is no winning the genocide debate. Anyone who feels that their place is to remove lesser beings should start with themselves.

If life began at conception, every woman who miscarried before implantation would be a murderer. Nearly every woman has conceived without becoming pregnant at some time or other. Millions of women around the world would be the worst sinners of all.

Sorry, anyone who believes in a loving, forgiving God cannot possibly take that stand.

Despite such potential benefits, the consensus is that the results will be catastrophic.

In a word: corruption. The following opinions from republicancorruption.com are not my own, but make a few good points:

The 28-page indictment -- the latest in an ongoing probe of corruption in Alaska politics -- claims Stevens concealed his receipt of more than $250,000 dollars worth of benefits from oil services company Veco Corp. and its former chief executive, Bill Allen, from 1999-2006. Federal agents searched his home on July 28, 2008, focusing on records related to his relationship with an oil field services contractor jailed in a public corruption investigation.
