The author needs to realize that Florida just became that very thing.
Not enough ambiguity and fuzzy thinking. Too many people out there that are just sure life is good and special.
If you've managed to listen or watch the debate, ... any attempt at discussion disappeared, replaced with shouting and ... refused to concede there might be other voices worth hearing.
After awhile, it wasn't so much who was going to be able to claim the moral high ground but who could get in the last verbal punch while the camera was still on.
Steve looks for calm debate and discussion on the picket line in front of cameras and wonders why he can't find it. Fuzzy thinking seems to be a mainstay for him.
He didn't like being inconvenienced - which just about sums up the Terri story in a nut shell. Terri was an inconvenience to her husband too.
None of us - especially those of us who live in the Tampa Bay area - have come out of these two weeks untouched. -- least of all Terri. whadda whiner.
Hi, cw . . . no barf alert, eh?
Can't we all just get along? The voice of reason and decency . . . Never mind I'm trying to kill you, or your precious daughter. . .
Stupid OM contrasted michael schiavo, who (virtuously) kept out of the media spotlight while his dear wife was starving with the Schindlers, who were seen daily in the media. They ignored that ms had been given a suite at hospice down the hall from Terri. The Schindlers were fortunate to find respite in a shop across the street that a very kind soul gave them to use, and of course HAD to walk back and forth, in the rain (which was no small thing during that time), inconvenienced. They ignored that ms had his lawyer felos come out and hiss into the microphones anytime they needed a boost in their ratings.
btw, why were felos & debra bushnell in terri's room when she died? They spent the last day in michael's room, waiting for their opportunity to watch her draw her last breath. But, HEY! Bobby couldn't be at her side when she died, bc then you'd need to have a policeman, and that is an undignified way to die.
Pretty awful, huh?
Yes, it certainly is! . . . my conscience, my heart, my mind, with all I have learned about this, all tell me so.
reminds me of our legislators: "We need new rules! We broke the old ones!"
