AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers around concerns that the Bush administration may undermine Oregon's Death With Dignity Act, which allows assisted suicide, due to the administration's religious beliefs. Participants express frustration over the federal government's attempts to interfere with state laws, particularly after a federal appeals court previously ruled against such interference. The conversation highlights the moral dilemma of allowing individuals to suffer before death instead of providing a dignified option for those who choose it. There are also strong emotional reactions, including calls for the resignation of Attorney General Ashcroft, reflecting deep dissatisfaction with the government's stance on this issue.

Thread 'My experience as a hostage'
I believe it was the summer of 2001 that I made a trip to Peru for my work. I was a private contractor doing automation engineering and programming for various companies, including Frito Lay. Frito had purchased a snack food plant near Lima, Peru, and sent me down to oversee the upgrades to the systems and the startup. Peru was still suffering the ills of a recent civil war and I knew it was dicey, but the money was too good to pass up. It was a long trip to Lima; about 14 hours of airtime...
