People who say that the government has no business interfering in a private decision like removing Terri Schiavo's feeding tube somehow have no problem with a squad of policemen preventing her parents (or anyone else) from giving their daughter food or water.

Do those who want to keep the government out of private decisions think that the police are not the government? Do they think that the judges who authorized this are not the government?

Sadly, this is not the only Alice-in-Wonderland confusion of words and deeds in this tragic case.

We are being told that Terri Schiavo is being "allowed" to "die a natural death." Such an argument might make some sense if this were a terminally ill person. But Terri Schiavo is not dying from anything other than a lack of food and water, from which any of the rest of us would die...

AND - I'm not sure if we ever made the photo album for Terri. I've seen a lot of pictures of Terri, but never in one place, and with captions that have dates and descriptions. I would have titled it:

The Terri We Know, Is the Terri We Loved. - A Photo Album

If someone is so inclined, they can post that one.

Someone will point out that most of us never met Terri, so how can we say "The Terri We Know". It's true, I have never met Terri. But her parents and brother and sister, and so many others do know Terri, and they love Terri. And actually knowing Terri is not of first importance. What is most important is, that Terri is one of us.
