It's been a good thread thus far, folks...the civility and reasoned discussion has been absolutely refreshing to watch. I'm off for the evening, but PLEASE let's make the mods' job easy tonight...

- Don't post it if ya wouldn't say it to the person's face;

- Let the trolls go hungry, politely;

- Follow the golden rule. Don't start fires, don't fan them.

We do all this and we're golden, and we get to discuss this like adults.

Goodnight, All!

I am right now watching Scarborough Country, and he has Dr. James Dobson on....and they are really making my skin crawl...they are talking about children starving in Africa, and how very painful it is, and how the little children grasp their stomachs in pain....it really is horrible to think about...

And so by talking about the pain of starving children in Africa, it is by extension, that they are intimating that Terri Shiavo is also feeling this great pain...that if she could she would grab her stomach in extreme pain...

I know that I always have tried to believe that even tho a person is in a PVS, that they may sense things around them...but from the Catscan(tho, its years old), I also have to listen to such doctors as Dr. Baden, who say that a person whose brain produces a Catscan such as they have on Terri Shiavo cannot possibly sense things around them...

But I really do find trying to link the pulling of Terri Shiavos feeding tube, to be akin to starving children in Africa, just somehow not correct...

That is what is so sad about this whole case...there are just things about Terri and what she feels, that we will probably never know...
