In What America?
Time Magazine quotes Tom DeLay:
I tell you, ladies and gentlemen, one thing God has brought to us is Terri Schiavo to elevate the visibility of what's going on in America. That Americans would be so barbaric as to pull a feeding tube out of a person that is lucid and starve them to death for two weeks. I mean, in America that's going to happen if we don't win this fight.
I'm sorry, in WHAT America does Terri Schiavo represent "a person that is lucid"?
He's right on one thing: withdrawal of sustenance is a brutal and inhumane way to treat the terminally ill, the brain-dead, the irrevocably broken whose only other choice is to linger on the edge of death. If we were half as wonderful and compassionate as half the country thinks we are, we'd allow families to ease the suffering and speed the passing of their loved ones through humane, medically assisted euthanasia.
We treat DOGS better.

Mae Magouirk safe for now. See Tekgnosis for further details.
Tell the Media to report the REAL Schiavo polls!
