Yes, indeed, this is just the highly publicized and dramatic opening salvo. Watching Scarborough last night, I was fascinated by Catherine Crier, who is herself a judge and very much in support of this gruesome execution. Although she is an attractive woman, I could almost see the demons changing her face as she raged. She insists that this kind of thing "happens all the time". Does she expect me to believe that 2 week long starvation executions are routine hospital procedures and that the rest of us are just too stupid and ill-informed to know it?
I'm going to make a prediction here: Soon, the pro-death ones will be "taking the moral high ground" by saying that those of us who oppose this thing are the ones responsible for Terri's suffering because our "silly and outdated morality" prevented them from just giving Ms. Schiavo a lethal injection. That's where they seek to gain an advantage from this woman's slow and painful death - by using it to push for quick, drug-induced deaths.
