So, either we allow Terri Shiavo to starve to death or we are living under an American Taliban?
Please!
Look, there's plenty of valid points on the other side of this thing that you can argue; why make hyperbolic comparisons that only reveal the depth of your ignorance, or your hatred?
To be specific, I"m referring to Dowd, Cole, and, as I heard on the radio this morning, Neil Boortz, who proclaimed that Congress and the President, in attempting to get a full federal review of a case that stinks to high heaven of politics and conflict of interest, had moved America one step closer to theocracy. Let me ask Mr. Boortz one simple question: Is it possible to care about justice for another human being, to speak out in defense of them when they are voiceless, without being a crazed religious fanatic!
Of course it is.
By the way, regarding the corrosive effects euthanasia has on the human character, I heard a guy on the radio today call Terri "nothing but a boat anchor" to her husband.
If I ever find myself in agreement with folks who have that attitude, I will immediately rethink every position I've ever taken.
