Sorry for the vanity but I wanted an unedited version of a letter to the editor that I submitted published somewhere. Thanks Jim for the link I can direct folks to for clarifying any misconceptions regarding editing/ommissions/implications.

Queers have shorter life-spans? I'm cetainly not for doing anything to disturb that "made in heaven" gift to the rest of us.

The leftists who feel that Terri Schiavo was being 'forced to live' and is now being 'allowed to die' suffer from dangerously deluded thinking.

Terri was no more being 'forced' to live than a woman walking around with a heart pacer, or a woman who needs a daily insulin shot and weekly dialysis treatments to keep the Grim Reaper at bay. According to the left's rationale food and water through a tube amounts to "extraordinary means of life support". Well it's a hell of a lot less technical and less "extraordinary" than living with a partially man-made heart.

However, the worst thing about this whole case is the fact that the parents have been literally begging Terri's husband and the Courts to grant them custody so they can take her home and care for her. They are completely willing and even eager to shoulder the burdon of their paralyzed dauther's condition all by themselves. And neither the 'husband' nor the Courts will let this happen. To to contrary, they say death for Terri is better. You just cannot call this justice from any angle you view it from. It's perverted, cruel and evil.

The Terri Schiavo case sends a definitive message to every American citizen, a message that says once we become disabled and unable to speak or fight for ourselves, do to age, infirmity, or anything else, the system can take us out like last week's garbage, and nobody can do a thing about it. Not a Governor, a Sentate or even a President. This case has defined the state of our nation.

This is just great! Rush was pointing out this use of the words "force" and "allow". Very interesting how they say the Christians want to FORCE her to live - but the normal people - well .. they were going to ALLOW her to die.

Right out of the Communist play book.
