In reply #16 I mentioned how my mom and grandma died within a month of each other. I never posted that on this forum before but I posted this comment to make a point. I am grateful no courts or media were interfering with my family's decisions. And no, we pulled no plugs or feeding tubes.

My discussion with you is over, hon.

Boy, oh boy. Well, we gotta tighten up the standards some - they'll just let any old body into the death cult these days. Pretty soon everyone's gonna be a death cultist, and then it just loses all meaning....

It's interesting that the "true" (cough cough) pro-lifers are only nice to those that can't answer back. Otherwise, look out!

You have to admit, there's a certain irony in one of the death cult's latest inductees being one of the same folks riding me so hard on that other thread. Well, what the hell - we're big tent people, right? ;)

I can't comment in depth since I have Jack-boots to polish and uniforms to press.

The ever moronic Glenn Beck was hyping this story, with zero details, today while I was driving to town. It sounds manufactured to me.

Ah! My fellow death cultists, I see. I was out of action for a few days - my Uniform was at the cleaners, and I've been putting extra polish on my jackboots.

I think it's fabricated. Glenn Beck, the moron, was all over it with no supporting documents, just a lot of emotion.

The Terri-mania continues. After all, "Facts don't matter."

Well according to La Grange Daily News they spoke to Probate Judge Donald Boyd, Kenneth Mullinax, Jack Kirby (att for Kenneth), West Georgia Health System President Jerry Fulks, and Danny Daniel(att for Gaddy).
