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.

We have Bush to thank for so much, don't we? Just the same, I'd still consider one.

I know exactly how you feel. I have someone else designated as my proxy, and I'm in the proicess of getting a living will, and I'm bloody scared shitless that my bloody mother will pop out from fucking nowhere to wrestle the control of my life from my proxy. I'm even more afraid that once she does, it'll be bloody 'gay cure' for me. [shudders]
