"Comparing this as others do to the Holocaust and the Civil Rights movements demeans both and is not an apt analogy. "
The holocaust did not start with the concentration camps.
It started with people sitting by, saying nothing, as Hitler
eased his way into power. This whole matter is very simple:
Take the strongest athlete on any college campus and deny him food and water.....he will eventually die. That is murder...pure and simple. It is not allowed under any circumstances in our prisons (I know...I worked for 30 years in the prison system). Bottom line: Terri Schiavo is being murdered with the approval of judges and (if polls are to be believed) 3/4 of the American public. ("Don't confuse us with the facts!") SHAME!!!!
That you don't understand that feeding tubes are pulled in hospitals, nursing homes and hospices every day of the week and compare it to the holocaust is just plain ignorant.
