>>Good thing that a lot of FReepers weren't around when slavery and segregation were being fought. A fair number would approve of your bullying were it ordered by a prick in a black robe.<<

A bit harsh and judgmental, as well as unfair.

Republicans were against slavery and more than a fair amount fought in the Civil War, and more Republicans voted for the civil rights act than democrats.

The nasty comment about religious persons should be withdrawn, as moral and religious leaders may take a stand based upon God's law and if one disagrees, well, so be it, but broad brush smears hardly make your point and is unbecoming.

The stat you reference is misleading, the result of a push poll, whereas most respondents were not following the case and mis-characterize her as being on life support (she was not).

Disagree if you wish, argue if the analogy is apt or not, but be mindful that others take an opposing view and are not "easily led" nor following a "prick in a black robe." (Hmmm. . .come to think of it. . .were you referring to "prick" judges . . .they wear black robes, too.)

"A bit harsh and judgmental, as well as unfair."

Harsh, yes. So were the Ten Commandments.

Judgmental, yes to that, too. I'm very judgmental. In this case my judgment is pretty clear in observing a number of FReepers who have told me that it is okay for Terri Schiavos adulterous husband to want her dead so he can inherit the remainder of her trust fund that was established by a legal settlement for her care.

They think it is unlawful for the Bush boys to intervene in Terri's death but have no answer for me when I ask them exactly what law the judiciary is citing in sentencing a living person to death without a trial? There is no law, by the way.

And is it unfair of me to say that certain FReepers are condoning murder when certain FReepers are condoning murder?

No sir, it is just stating the uncomfortable truth.

"most respondents were not following the case and mis-characterize her as being on life support (she was not)."

Artificial feeding falls within the medical definition of life support.

You may not agree with it, but it is incorrect to say that it is a mis-characterisation of the situation.
