The media is giving us the Colluseum. The politicians are in their seats, watching the spectacle. Judge greer is the one who gives a thumbs up or down on life or death. Sadly, the public is being entertained in true Roman fashion. The state enjoys a strange sense of power with the fate of it's people hinged on the whim of those in power.
The Schiavo spectacle is giving political opportunists a shot of adrenaline they haven't felt in decades. It feels mighty.
The people are apathetic and reminded that their good fortune is at the hands of the state, not by their individual liberty or rights.
History is repeating itself.........Again.

And people like George Felos are getting their jollies off of the spectacle.
