If Terri were my sister, I'd assume this to be the last resort, given the failures amongst the 'officials' involved.
"Illegal, armed revolt", what the h*ll do you mean? This country was founded upon such. Laws are great, but when they lead to genocide, for even one woman, we reserve the right to kick somebody's ass. It's in the constitution.
Women have born burdens in all societies to such an extent that I (as a brother to three sisters) cannot allow these types of discrimination based upon sex in my lifetime.
Were Terri my sister, I'd have rented a CAT diesel, hardened the cab, and with the bucket at eye level, driven it to the hospice letting everyone know that I didn't want her to be starved to death.
Not being one to wish Middle Eastern type justice upon us, our system of justice had better catch up with "life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness" as paramount to their calling. It is a sad day when we as Americans accept starvation as a tool utilized by the state to keep 'costs' down.
Not having a TV, I saw the pictures of Terri for the first time a couple hours ago.
The pieces of sh*t who are killing her will have to look over their shoulders for the rest of their miserable G-d dam*ed lives.
