and there s been some of the charges that are made, particularly in georgia, are absolutely scurrilous, and are plain outright lies. rita marker, i want to get her to weigh in here, bob. go right ahead. i m hearing, actually, two sides to this story here coming from you, bob. rita marker, you ve been investigating, obviously, this organization. i would like for you to weigh in here and tell me your thoughts. do you believe what bob and his exit guides are doing is illegal? well, i think what they re doing is illegal because what they re saying what they re doing is somewhat different than what they are doing. if you are talking about just talking to people, that is protected by the first amendment. although there are a lot of things protected by the first amendment, people can shout racial slurs and tell people on top of a building to jump,
most of those are people blowing their heads off, hanging themselves jumping off buildings and then she points out that putting a bag over your head is not dignified. well, i think it s a lot more dignified than blowing your head off or jumping off a building. i m not sure what the criticism is here. to use bob s line of argument then, because thrive,000 people commit suicide, and about half of those are by firearms, not most of them, as he said, it seems to indicate that we should help them do it in a way that is prettier or clean are, maybe the exit guides can go to every potential suicide and hand them the plastic bag to put over their head. this is really something whether we talk about who is doing this, one of the case cass they are doctors. are these exit guides doctors? what did you say? am i an exit guide? no. are your exit guides doctors?
