I suspected there might be a few "normal" DemocRATs out there on the web, but you'll have to excuse us if we observe you from all angles, circle you carefully, maybe tap on the glass a little, laugh at the majority of your political antics while in our captivity, and toss you peanuts or marshmallows over the fence. (Hey! We could be tossing grenades, LOL!)

You're just such an odd creature amongst us, you're sure to generate much speculation. ;)

Thanks for your thoughts and prayers on Terri, though. I have Faith that cooler heads will prevail and that they won't starve her to death. There are a few bills in Congress right now, being rushed through to try to stop her murder and prevent this fate worse than death from happening to others in the future.

The Congressional action I had heard about that sounded most promising to me was something about requiring that people in Terry's situation have an independent lawyer appointed...I may have this messed up, but I thought that was what I heard and it seemed like the most likely to stand up to constitutional challenge. While the law they put through in October, 2003 was effective for saving Terry's life at that point, there was no way (IMHO) it would survive constitutionally...it essentially allowed one branch to overrule the other. But I think laws to protect the most helpless among us are COMPLETELY appropriate.

There are a lot of Democrats who have a problem with the Terri case - they see it for what it is - murder.
