"You are a certifiable dingbat!"


I am not sure if you are aware of the saying that the first sign of mental illness is talking to yourself. Careful about responding, because that is the second sign.

In other words, it would seem that there is a minor problem here of a certain Verity talking to herself.

Like I said, Verity, the photos of Lisa McPherson tell a very ugly story about what happens when a person is dehydrated and starved to death. I have been reading up some of the information about what allegedly happened to Lisa. It is not a pretty story. She was being held captive at the FLAG and she tried to escape. She was followed, so she attempted to get attention by stripping naked. She was forced to return to the FLAG where she was locked in a room for what is known as introspective run down. Lisa was told she had a tone scale of 1.5 and anyone who has read anything about the kooky ideas of Hubbard knows that such a low reading almost automatically means that the person is "dead" in terms of Scientology.

The material that I have been reading on her case indicated that those who were keeping guard of Lisa were not allowed to talk to her at all. There was some concern about her condition but nothing was done to prevent her death.

We need to disabuse ourselves of any notion that starvation and dehydration of a person who is NOT TERMINALLY ILL is something that causes the person to look serene.

I know from experience, because my sister became seriously ill from not being able to eat, that starvation heightens the pain of cancer. I know that it is necessary to help a person who is terminally ill with the administration of morphine, to assist in the final days of life. My sister was administered with this form of medication. Her death was natural and was not hurried because of her condition.

On the other hand what happened to Terri was completely unnatural because she was NOT terminally ill.

"Contrary to predictions that Terri Schiavo's starvation death would be painless and dignified, an eyewitness who visited her hospice room early Saturday morning reports that she is now bleeding from the eyes and mouth."

This is the statement I originally challenged. Then some fool introduced the McPherson photos which were irrelevant. Then you jump in making the McPherson photos an issue because you despise Scientology which, parenthetically I consider to be a hoax religion.

If you wish to discuss the veracity of the bleeding eyes statement, we can continue. Conversely, if you want to rant about something else, do not bother.
