On the other hand, consider the larger number of posters on this forum who evidently heard all the information available on the case (including rumors favorable to both sides) and still chose death for Terri Schiavo. I'm not willing to say the pro-death enthusiasm was motivated primarily by ignorance of the facts.
That's true too. Freepers should be among the most informed, and you are right, many of them were in favor of getting rid of Terri too. That took me a little off guard & I have to say that the venom I witnessed on this site in regards to this subject left a bad taste in my mouth. I don't feel as at home here as I did before.
And yes, I know I'm a "newbie", but that doesn't automatically make me a "troll".

I agree. It's been my observation that it wasn't a liberal/conservative thing either(not completely). I was surprised by some of my acquaintences who are very liberal and called this barberic, murder etc...I couldn't believe Jesse Jackson, Ralph Nader and I came down on the same side of an issue. Surely one of us had to be wrong
