Arthur,

How does your anger save Terri? We're a nation of laws- and we all swim, regrettably, in the same polluted water. You, too. Join the bipartisan Mercy Coalition and try to save her life. It serves little purpose to call an honest police officer, who is just obeying orders as he is required by law to do, a Nazi. The hippies said such things in the 1960's, thank GOD, they're gone.

God Bless you. Pray for Terri.

The cops are aware the Terri is being murdered, and they are actively preventing anyone from taking a glass of water into the hospice. They are, in other words, assisting in a murder. They are accomplices to the murder of Terri Schiavo.

There are no separate rules of morality for government employees and non-government employees. To assist in making sure that a murder succeeds is criminal behavior, whether one receives a government paycheck or not.

I am horrified that even well-meaning, kindly people like you can be so woolly-headed when it comes to seeing the precise moral character of the actions that are taking place right before your eyes.

It is very telling that you attribute my words to "anger." My words are all objective, accurate descriptions of the crimes that are being committed, by the governor, by the cops, and by others. It is typical of our age that you reflexively attribute expressions of moral outrage to "anger" or some other emotion. Our age does not concede that moral language has any objective referent. Our age holds that moral language is only an expression of feelings. I urge you to free yourself from the evil age you live in. As you said, We all swim in the same polluted water. Free yourself from the intellectual pollution, at least.

No one is required by law to BE a cop. Any cop who assists in the murder of Terri Schiavo is saying that his next paycheck is of greater value than Terri's life. What's funny is that you describe the cops in the precise terms that DEFINE a "Nazi"--blindly obeying orders--and then say it's inappropriate to call them Nazis.
