I like that term, 'death trolls'. And speaking of death trolls, Boortz is trying to play it both ways. He's seems to think that on the one hand, being vegitative [allegedly]] is a form of suffering. On the other hand, starvation of someone 'vegitative' would not cause suffering. People hammered him about the suffering of starvation. And he's being smart, but muahahaha! It's empty.
This is a money and/or 'cost of society' issue to the death trolls, and they don't want to admit it, even to themselves.
To be fair, Boortz is also a champion of abolishing the IRS [national sales tax] and eminent domain. I don't mean to short change the good work he does. He also opposed his own political party to support the war on terror. A 'death troll' with powerful brains, perhaps.
FReegards....

I like Boortz. His show is usually very entertaining, and sometimes a downright "hoot"! I usually listen to him two or three times a week. However, he has a serious flaw in that he tends to mouth-off authoritatively about subjects on which his research and factual knowledge is sorely lacking. (To be fair, on subjects about which he is passionate and "engaged", e.g. the Fair Tax, or eminent domain abuse, he does his homework and is an eloquent and persuasive spokesman.)
On this issue, however, he is wrong. First, he has blindly accepted the MSM's, Michael Schiavo's et al. labeling of Terri's medical condition as a "persistent vegetative state" (PVS) without determining that there exists sufficient medical grounds for questioning that diagnosis, and therefore further medical evaluation (objective, impartial evaluation not subject to the control of either Michael Schiavo/Judge Greer or Terri's family) is warranted.
Secondly, the fact that Michael Schiavo has vehemently rejected all attempts to obtain an objective evaluation of Terri, and that Judge Greer has summarily blocked all such attempts, when coupled with the obvious conflicts of interest of them both which have been raised, should be a red flag, or actually a screaming klaxon horn of warning that "something" is dreadfully wrong here and that we need to find out what certain of these key players are trying to hide.
We have the medical technology and expertise to accurately and truthfully determine Terri's condition. The obvious fact of the tremendous effort that is being expended to prevent the necessary and common-sense efforts to do this shows clearly that this is more about power agendas than it is about the life of Terri Schiavo (with the added proviso that for Michael Schiavo it may also be about saving his own hide from an attempted murder prosecution).
