I'm not sure...it could just be the high number of posts coming in across the board.
It has chapped me raw. My grandmother was in a hospice for several months until she passed. I would have been out there taking a baseball bat to those kooks.
Family feuds are horrendous and I see this a family feud played out by the courts, special interests, political junkies, the press with predictable horrible consequences.
I don't see this as the end of our country or some presence of a death culture, etc. I just don't see it in those catastrophic terms. And soon, someone will accuse me of being on Satan's friend list and probably some other horrible thing. I am tired of it.
You make excellent points- and I think many agree with your sentiments.
I sure hope not. I was a bit disturbed by us getting our own "yard duty teacher" who bailed in less than 2 hours and the troll who was banned getting back on the board in less than 24 hours.
Let's start a new conspiracy theory! ; )
A total lack of respect.
Yes Dr H is NOT part of the Global Ethic/Bioethic team which speaks an alternative language from the one that has served mankind from the beganning of time here on earth!
You it seems have embraced the BRAVE NEW WORLD ? A Defence Of Paradise-Engineering
WANT TO REFRESH YOUR MEMORIE PEACH?
No doubt because this is human nature...we all have our triggers...some just don't go all the way down.
Please do not ping me to these posts.
Most of us could go out there and counter attack, but it's out of "respect" for their grief that we are being quit.
I wish they could be as charitable.

You seem to be speaking an "alternative language," appropos of nothing.
MS probably ISN't a good guy, but then, he's been subjected to the worst sort of namecalling and invective now for ten years. His reputation and life have been destroyed in public. I don't think I'd be in a conciliatory mood, either.
Did you know that the Schindlers actually had Terri at home and were caring for her for a while? It lasted three weeks, and they sent her right back to the hospice, saying it was too much.
Opps..I meant "quiet"...for the spelling police :~)
One of the primary reasons I started this thread. You're safe here; just don't feed the trolls. Discuss, don't flame. Let the flamers and hysterics make themselves look foolish all on their own.
And don't forget those who use emotion to whip other people into a frenzy...sometimes they are already in their own frenzy, but sometimes, I think it's just their favorite tool to get people involved - the all's fair in love and war people.
Family feuds should be just that FAMILY - this public spectacle making is just plain wrong.
Please do not spam the thread. If necessary, post links and people will find your documents.
