	Franklin County, Ohio Recorder - Why Use Standard Form Living Wills? (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
		In the first case, if the doctor treats it like a standard form and a court finally determines that his/her actions were not in conformity with the actions required of him/her under the non-standard form, he/she may be assuming liability for his/her actions, or the patient may have problems resolving life insurance settlements.
		The Ohio law states that if nutrition and hydration are to be withheld under the instructions of a Living Will, then that must be a separate paragraph in capital letters and separately initialed by the declarant.
		It is not a question of whether or not your non-standard Living Will form is valid; it is a question of whether the medical community will carry out your wishes, having concern for their own safety on civil and criminal liabilities.

		The latest Census Bureau projections indicate that in the next 50 years, if the current level of immigration continues, there will be 80 million to 90 million more people living in the United States than there would have been with moderate immigration of 250,000 a year.
		In fact, the United States is virtually the only major industrialized country that faces the task of cutting emissions while also dealing with rapid population growth.
		It is also worth noting that because most immigrants come from developing countries, immigration has the effect of transferring population from the less-polluting parts of the world to the more-polluting parts of the world.

	Borrowing During the Bush Years - Deeper and Deeper - New York Times
		While foreign investors were putting up most of the $1.5 trillion the federal government has borrowed since 2001, they were also snapping up hundreds of billions of dollars in private sector securities, transactions that have been a big source of the easy money that allowed Americans to borrow heavily against their homes.
		The result, as The Wall Street Journal reported last week, is that for the first time in at least 90 years, the United States is now paying noticeably more to foreign creditors than it receives from its investments abroad.
		It means that a growing share of America’s future collective income will flow abroad, leading to a lower standard of living in the United States than would otherwise have been achieved.
