First they came for the Jews and I did not speak out because I was not a Jew
Then they came for the communists and I did not speak out because I was not a communist.
Then they came for the gypsies and I did not speak out because I was not a gypsy
Then they came for the Catholics and I did not speak out because I was not a Catholic.
Then they came for me, and there was no one left to speak out for me.

Not artificial to supply food
By Wesley J. Smith, Oakland, Calif.
Florida Today's editorial headlined "Second thoughts" about the Terri Schiavo case, states that she has "been kept alive artificially."
I am not sure what that means. But if her life-sustaining medical treatment is "artificial," then so too is it artificial for the diabetic to receive insulin.
But no editorial writer would ever use the term "artificial" in that context to argue against treatment for diabetics.
I can only infer then, that the intent was to demean the value of Schiavo's life and minimize the wrongness of dehydrating and starving her to death.
