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.

The staunch Republicans would have us live in the fucking stone age, I swear.

What amuses me most about this whole thing is that if she did, in fact, live in the Stone Age, she wouldn't be forced to suffer for years on end, possibly knowing she's there and can't move. She would have succumbed quickly, without any decent medical or governmental intervention ages ago.

I feel bad for the whole family, really, and I don't quite understand how the government has any say whatsoever regarding whether I live or die. If I want to swallow a box of razorblades, how is that any concern of theirs just as long as I do it in the middle of the woods, and no one else is hurt?

How is anything anyone does behind closed doors that a concern of the government's?

They really need to amend the fucking Constitution.

Not to mention the separation of church and state.
