I swear to Goddess, if I live to be 100...

I will never understand how some people think. Has anyone been following the Terri Schiavo case?

For those of you that haven't the slightest clue as to what I'm talking about, here's a brief synopsis.

Terri Schiavo has been, and I quote, in a 'persistive vegetative state' for FIFTEEN years, and her poor husband who just wants to move on has been given shit in large doses for wanting to end her suffering. And now there's this big brouhaha over reinserting her feeding tube.

This woman is not going to just to snap out of it. She ain't getting better.

Fifteen years? How is relying on a feeding tube considered 'living?' Where is the fucking 'quality of life' these assholes protest in favor of by taping the word 'LIFE' over their mouths?

Oh, this fucking pisses me off. The staunch Republicans would have us live in the fucking stone age, I swear.

Sometimes I really wish I lived in Canada.

Apparently, to merit attention from the US Government, one must be either a fetus or a vegetable. Wonderful. >_

Canada has it's good points and bad points. Our government is pretty dense as well... Let's just say I have little faith in government as it is but when they spend millions of dollars trying to figure out where a couple million dollars went? I am not going to be very impressed.

They try to be all about the good of the people though, or they say they are anyway.

Heh. True about US Government... although you forgot that you have to be a "terrorist" who they previously gave moneys weapons too as well. Not that they'd admit it, right?
