"She insists on being her own complicated person, a Southern lady, for instance, as well as a socialist, an atheist, a lawyer and a born storyteller with a wicked sense of humor. "

You want to know how to get a die-hard Christian Republican to agree with a socialist/atheist?

Start legally killing off disabled people for the money.

At Pinellas Park I noticed while talking to those around,I had a wiccan on one side, a Protestant on the other and a Catholic. It looked like almost every point of religion was represented and and all for the same thing (except some guy dancing and waving feathers and blowing smoke at us. Never quite understood that one.)

Your right...its all about the money with the Repubs and the Dems.

Anybody here know anything about the Derzon memo that was leaked during the Carter administration?

I still can't believe that Terri was killed, and killed with such brutality. She was an innocent, helpless, person. Her parents/family wanted to take care of her in their loving home. That's all. You'd think that anyone Left or Right, with an ounce of humanity would be outraged over her slow torture, execution carried out over 13 days.

Before this happened, I would have thought that protecting the disabled would be a no-brainer for people. Boy was I wrong. I was shocked by the cold blooded responses of many, including some FReepers.

I hope everyone reads Harriet Johnson's book. Disabled people are going to have to fight for their lives now, sadly, because we have become so shallow, calloused, and self involved that we no longer have any common decency.

They (disabled) need to show people that they are, as the organization is called, "Not Dead Yet" and worthy of life.
