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.

I love how they want to have a 'culture of life' when they don't believe in stem cell research that, you know, might be able to help people like her. *massive eyeroll*

Don't apologise for the soapbox, cause I'm right there on it too. I teach in an elementary school in a low income neighborhood and I see all the time the crap that people get from the 'system'.

Babies who are actually born (as opposed to fetuses, who are valued beyond all measure of reason) are being raised in filth and squallor because of restrictive (non)welfare policies.

Yep. And when those moms of those kids want to try to move up and make things better, there are roadblocks all over the place. *sigh*

Tell me about it. I sometimes work in clinics in lower middle-class neighborhoods. The so called 'system' is just non-existent there.

just wanted to barge in and say get on your soap box any old time. I heartily agree with you and shall be quoting this next time any body in my country craps on about removing welfare.

Gah, that is such a hot button of mine. That and Bush's trying to overturn Roe vs. Wade. Kerry was very pro stem cell research too.
