I had pointed this out for the whole month stating what about the passion for the many who don't get press coverage?
Doesn't make this any less a horror though.
But it does bring into question why the executive and legislative branches of both the state and federal governments chose to intervene in this case vs. all the others. Nor does it explain why so many people what both the President and the Governor of Florida to exceed their authority in this one case. What happened to equal protection under the law?
It also took practicaly non-stop coverage of the Scott/Laci Peterson case for the facts about the prevalance of pregnant wives being killed by their husbands there are--
I can't recall the number right now, but I remember being shocked at how many husbands killed their pregnant wives---
NOW, I am shocked at how "common" starving/dehydrating someone to death is---and yet, if a congresscritter even hinted at using this method on death row in a prison, WATCH OUT!!!!
What if the prisoners ate gitmo didn't get their 3 square meals a day?
I think that this pandora's box is opened now, and should be examined for the questionable practice of starving people (disabled) to death---
Think of the IRONY that Kervorkian that came up with a quick, painless VOLUNTARY form of "death with dignity", is in prison, but MS and Judge Greer are being hailed as heros by more than half of this country---
SCARY!!!!!
Passion for the many is an abstraction. As individuals, not groups, have rights, the best way so address the needs of the many is to regard the individual's problems like a canary in a mine-- a warning that there are undoubtably other problems. And maybe one reason we don't hear about them is that it costs a million dollars to pay for the legal costs.
