I am sick at my stomach, to be frank. I'm not afraid for her, death isn't the end, and death isn't to be feared. I am more afraid for what this means, for what this case reveals about the moral state of affairs among the living.
I looks very much to me, too, that the "high priests of secularism" are here defending their temple, their dogma, against contamination by the non-priestly caste. And yet the law given by our Constitution is an expression of the will of the people -- not the general will (which is all you can ever get from illegitimate judges in violation of their own oaths of office) -- and is supposed to secure the people's inalienable rights, preeminently that of life, liberty, and property. Law is the means to an end, not an end in itself. The end is justice. But there is absolutely no justice in this barbaric episode. These men evidently have no conscience, and feel no shame whatsoever.
Dear marron, it is good to be reminded of the truths of your next paragraph, that death is not the end; the Lord is our Living God who loves Terri, so all will be well with her even if this murderous plot against her life should succeed. Your second point is also totally on the mark, IMO, and speaks to my own deep concerns: "I am more afraid for what this means, for what this case reveals about the moral state of affairs among the living...."
I've seen polls that indicate that something like 70% of the public doesn't see any problem with what is happening to Terri, and only something like 30% are able to perceive the hideous judicial murder being perpetrated on her by her "husband" in collusion with the Courts. Seventy percent have apparently indicated that if it were their own spouse under the same circumstances as Terri, they would "pull the plug."
Jeff Head spoke earlier about virtue, quoting extensively from our Framers and Founders to the effect that a people lacking in virtue cannot long maintain their liberty. Now we see that an unvirtuous people may not long maintain their life either. Once you start having "experts" setting themselves up as judges of who is fit to live or die based on their own subjective "quality of life" criteria, then no one's safe.
The fact that judges have imposed a death sentence on an innocent human being sickens me to my core. But this second point fills me with profound fear and dread about our American future. Kiddos, read the tea leaves: The camel's nose is 'way under the tent here. (And as the proverb continues, "very soon he will be in bed with you."...) These usurpers have got to be stopped, or plenty more will be dying soon. And it is up to We the People to restrain them; for certainly they cannot or will not restrain themselves.

Should be required reading (over and over, along with all supporting facts, until they are comprehended) for every adult American.
Thank you, betty.
