Dumbledore's Dilemma

8.16.07 @ 12:01AM

Euthanasia or heroism in Harry Potter? Also: Karl Rove Democrats. Classiness over class. Fair Tax plays fair. Plus more.

p> DUMBLEDORE'S DILEMMA br> Re: David Haddon's J. K. Rowling Condones Euthanasia in Latest Book : /p> p>Haddon's argument is ridiculous. Dumbledore was dying. He sacrificed his life to have Snape continue to be an agent against Voldemort. How long are intolerant evangelicals going to spread such rot? The irony is that Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows is the most theological of the series. It presents an afterlife, and clear consequences are shown for how lives are lived. The American Spectator should be embarrassed at publishing Haddon's silly diatribe. br> -- Doug Gibson br> Ogden, Utah /p>
