You got that straight. There are some subjects that one can be appropriately lighthearted and even darkly humorous about. The Schiavo situation is NOT one of those. I am straining to remember the last time there was a topic that obsessed America this much that late-night comedians wouldn't touch with a ten-foot pole. Perhaps it's because it's so universal -- we all have to face our own demise sooner or later, we most likely will be incapacitated for a period before that occurs, and, if we aren't terribly unfortunate while we are able-bodied, we have many loved ones that will weep many tears when that time arrives.
Presuming, beyond the sea, that you have actually read what cyncooper and Howlin responded to, can you tell me what you believe is "misguided" about it? I hope you can pick up the slack for randjuke, the original addressee of that post, who responded to my challenge with a variation of the well-worn dodge, "Well, if I have to explain what I mean to you, you aren't open-minded enough to understand my answer, so I just won't answer!"
