So you want Governor Bush to go in there with WHAT? The National Guard vs. the policemen guarding her? Sounds like you want a riot. Tell you what. Go spend your time in a nursing home with people in vegetative states. I am sure they would enjoy your company.

I don't care where you stand on this issue (Terri) and I don't much care what you want to say about it..but your last two sentences really burned my b*tt.

Don't even go there with the vegetative states in the nursing home. I have had two grandmothers die with ataxia..its long..its debilitating..and its frustrating. And yes..YOU would call them vegetative..I call them trapped.

What IS the point of nursing homes ..WHO should they be full of? Are we just supposed to shoot whoever comes up physically or mentally lame? Gee whiz. We all gotta get outta here somehow. Some of us are gonna go quick..and some are gonna be like Terri and my grandmothers.

Is it fun to watch? No..so what. Is it gut wrenching? Yes..so what. Is it the price we pay for being born, loved and or human? Yes..and its worth it.

Oh of course, you're right. Let's preserve the public order, that's more important than saving Terri Schivo's life.

I better hurry then, I suspect you'll be along shortly to yank their feeding tubes and put a pillow over their face.
