If they chose to starve to death, rather than accept charity, he said then let them.

By Gosh, You're right!!!

Scrooge sounds just like Greer and Michael.
"Terri chose to starve herself to death. "
"Our hands are clean "

At last -- I can clearly see the parallel between A Christmas Carol and Terri's situation.

Thanks, no pardons. You've taught me something new.

You are abjectly lacking in the following areas...reading comprehension,logic,reasoning, and debate.

And if the above weren't enough, you don't know when to quite,but keep flailing.

Scrooge wasn't a judge. He just didn't want to give two strangers money, on the street, for people who refused the charity he was already paying for.

Do you support welfare for people who refuse to work? Would YOU give money to some strangers, who stopped you on the street,asking for money for the poor? Gee........maybe you would.

I bet that you don't know that Charles Dickens was a FLAMING LIBERAL and a knee jerk bleeding heart. I love his books, I understand his words, I know his biases, and I know what he intended his books to do! Obviously, you don't and don't care.

You think that anything can be made to mean anything you want it too; however, that is NOT the case. Words have meanings,so too do whole sentences. Though apples and oranges are both fruit, they are NOT the same fruit and even IF you coated an orange red, it would NOT be an apple.
