Television has often been used as a tool for political messages and tonight was a perfect example. The HBO series "Six Feet Under" always opens with a death since it is a series based on the life of a family that owns a funeral parlor. Tonight they opened with a sister helping her brother kill himself since he felt it was better than living without three of his limbs. He used the same chemical they use to put a dog to sleep to end his misery. The mother of the soldier has the ribbons all over her car to support the troops. More below the fold
Claire, the funeral directors daughter goes nuts when she sees the big SUV with the "Support The Troops" ribbons. Her dialogue during this scene is so right on point it should be used in an anti-war commercial. If you have HBO watch this episode.
